A student from mech 237 that is very conscious about climate change decides to take a cold bath to avoid greenhouse gas emmissions derived from heating up the water using natural gas Since the student has studied the laws of thermodynamics, he knows that his body, being warmer than the water, will end up heating it and thus, he can enjoy a carbon neutral bath. How long will it take the water to reach body temperature? Express the result in hours with two significant digits. Consider that the bathtub has a volume of 250 l, tap water temperature is 15°C, body temperature is 37°C and his body dissipates heat at a rate of 100W. Consider no heat losses to the environment.

Amass of 1.5 kg of air at 120 kpa and 24°c is contained in a gas-tight, frictionless piston-cylinder device. the air is now compressed to a final pressure of 720 kpa. during the process, heat is transferred from the air such that the temperature inside the cylinder remains constant. calculate the boundary work input during this process.

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.
