Question 1: Assume you are required to design a logic circuit enclosed in a black box to detect a password, which can be changed by an authorized administrator any time. The password is composed
of a squence of a 4-bit decimal number, i. e., each bit is in the range 'O' to '9' and sent in BCD format.
As stated above, the password should be suitable to change any time, i. e., while the initial password
can be "0120", it can also be replaced by "3456" any time by the administrator. In this design, you are
allowed to use only 4-bit parallel output shift-registers with a single-serial input data line and 4-bit
magnitude comparators. The password to detect is "1234".

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.

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.

The mass flow rate of the fluid remains constant in all steady flow process. a)- true b)- false
