If it is desired that a steady stream of warm water at 110°F be supplied, determine the ratio of the mass flow rates of the hot to cold water. Assume the heat losses from the mixing chamber to be negligible and the mixing to take place at a pressure of 20 psia.

Using a numerical integration method such as Simpson's rule, find the fraction of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at a temperature of 250 K that have speeds between 100 m/s and 150 m/s. The molar mass of oxygen (O2) is 32.0 g/mol. A precision to two significant digits is enough.

In an experiment, the temperature of a hot gas stream is to be measured by a thermocouple with a spherical junction. Due to the nature of this experiment, the response time of the thermocouple to register 99 percent of the initial temperature difference must be within 5 s. The properties of the thermocouple junction are k = 35 W/m·K, r = 8500 kg/m3, and cp = 320 J/kg·K. If the heat transfer coefficient between the thermocouple junction and the gas is 250 W/m2·K, determine the diameter of the junction.
