A small can containing compressed air at sufficiently high pressure can be used to reinflate a flat car tire. If the initial temperature of both the compressed air and the air in the tire is 70 F, estimate the initial pressure in the compressed air can necessary to reinflate one tire from 0 psig (14.7 psia) to 23 psig (37.7 psia). Also, estimate the final air temperature in the tire and in the can. Assume the following:
a) Air is an ideal gas with CV=5.014 BTU/lb-mol Rankine (R=1.99 BTU/lb-mol Rankine).
b) The tire does not change size or shape during the inflation process.
c) The inner tube of the tire has a volume of 1.5 ft3.
d) The compressed air can has a volume of 0.022 ft3.
e) The can is disconnected from the tire as soon as the pressure in the tire is the same as that in the can. Since this happens rapidly relative to thermal equilibration, assume that the air in the can expands adiabatically and reversibly

Two flowing streams of argon gas are adiabatically mixed to form a single flow/stream. one stream is 1.5 kg/s at 400 kpa and 200 c while the second stream is 2kg/s at 500 kpa and 100 ? . it is stated that the exit state of the mixed single flow of argon gas is 150 c and 300 kpa. assuming there is no work output or input during the mixing process, does this process violate either the first or the second law or both? explain and state all your assumptions.
