A long electrical resistance wire of radius r.-0.25 cm has a thermal conductivity kwire-15 W/m-K. Heat is generated uniformly in the wire as a result of resistance heating at a constant rate of 0.5 W/cm3. The wire is covered with polyethylene insulation with a thickness of 0.25 cm and thermal conductivity of ks 0.4 W/m K. The outer surface of the insulation is subjected to free convection in air at 20°C and a convection heat transfer coefficient of 2 W/m2.K. Formulate the temperature profiles for the wire and the polyethylene insulation. Use the temperature profiles to determine the temperature at the interface of the wire and the insulation and the temperature at the center of the wire. The ASTM D1351 standard specifies that thermoplastic polyethylene insulation is suitable for use on electrical wire that operates at temperatures up to 75 C. Under these conditions, does the polyethylene insulation for the wire meet the ASTM D1351 standard?

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.
