5.(25 points) An equimolar mixture of helium and argon gases is to be used as the working fluid in a closed-loop gas-turbine cycle. The mixture enters the turbine at 1 MPa and 1200 K and expands isentropically to a pressure of 200 kPa .
(a) If the mixture is equimolar, determine the percent composition by mass of each gas. (10 points)
(b) Determine the mass-averaged specific heats and gas constant of the mixture. (\(\mathbf{5}\) points)
(c) If the mixture's mass flow rate is measured as \(0.7\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{s}\), determine the power output of this turbine. (10 points)
