A falling-head permeability test gives the following information:
- Water flows horizontally through the soil sample.
- The soil sample length in the direction of flow is 150 mm.
- The cross-sectional area of the soil sample is 1,140 mm2.
- The cross-sectional area of the standpipe is 200 mm2.
- At the beginning of the test the height of water in the supply standpipe is 1 m above the permeameter.
- After 1 hour, the height of water in the supply standpipe is 0.95 m above the permeameter.

(a) Sketch the arrangement of the set up for this type of measurement.
(b) Calculate the hydraulic conductivity.
(c) Which is the probable tested soil?

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.
