A spring has natural length 21 cm. Compare the work (in J) W1 done in stretching the spring from 21 cm to 31 cm with the work (in J) W2 done in stretching it from 31 cm to 41 cm. (Use k for the spring constant.)

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.

What precautions should you take to prevent injuries when dealing with heavy loads?

Water at 55c flows across a flat plate whose surface temperature is held constant at 95c. if the temperature gradient at the plate's surface for a given value of x is 18 c/mm, find a) local heat transfer coefficient. b) heat flux
