Forming Mixtures

Argon (Ar), at 300 K, 1 bar with a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s enters the insulated mixing chamber shown in Fig. P12.36 and mixes with carbon dioxide (CO₂) entering as a separate stream at 575 K, 1 bar with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s. The mixture exits at 1 bar. Assume ideal gas behavior with k = 1.67 for Ar and k = 1.25 for CO₂. For steady-state operation, determine

(a) the molar analysis of the exiting mixture.

(b) the temperature of the exiting mixture, in K.

(c) the rate of entropy production, in kW/K.
