Question: Air and carbon dioxide are mixed in a simple T pipe. Air at 3 atm pressure and 3 0 C enters one end

Air and carbon dioxide are mixed in a simple "T" pipe. Air at 3atm pressure and 30
C enters one end of the "T" at a flow rate of 2kmolmin. Carbon dioxide at 3atm
pressure and 30C enters the other end of the "T" at a flow rate of 4kmolmin. The
two gas streams exit from the middle of the "T", still at 3atm and 30C.
