A column carries a load of 20,000 lbs and is supported on a 2 foot thick, concrete spread footing which rests on clay. Size the smallest round footing that can support the load. Enter the diameter of the smallest footing possible. (round only the final answer to the tenths and do not include the unit).

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.

At 12 noon, the count in a bacteria culture was 400; at 4: 00 pm the count was 1200 let p(t) denote the bacteria cou population growth law. find: (a) an expression for the bacteria count at any time t (b) the bacteria count at 10 am. (c) the time required for the bacteria count to reach 1800.

Prove the equivalence between the two statements of the 2nd law of thermodynamics (i. e., a violation of one statement leads to the violatio the other statement)
