An engineer claims to have invented steady flow device which takes a 2.0 mol/min inlet air stream at 3.4 atm and 63 and exhausts two streams of equal mass. She claims that one of the outlet streams has a temperature of 23C and a pressure of 3.2 atm, while the other has a temperature of 83C and a pressure of 3.2 atm. The device neither requires nor produces work, however it releases heat to the surroundings at a rate of 582 J/min. The surroundings maintain a constant temperature of 23C. Assume air is an ideal gas with Cp = 3.5R where R is the gas constant (8.314 J mol- K-). Does this process violate the first law of thermodynamics? Perform the energy balance and show all your work below. Does this process violate the second law of thermodynamics? Again, show all your work below.
