Transcribed Image Text:### Mixing Process of Hot and Cold Water Streams
**Scenario:**
A hot-water stream at 90 °C enters an insulated mixing chamber with a mass flow rate of \( m_h = 0.75 \, \text{kg/s} \). It is mixed with a stream of cold water at 25 °C in a steady state, steady flow process. The objective is for the mixture to exit the chamber at 45 °C.
**Figure Explanation:**
- **Hot Water Inlet (1):**
- Pressure: \( P_1 = 300 \, \text{kPa} \)
- Temperature: \( T_1 = 90 \, \text{°C} \)
- Mass Flow Rate: \( \dot{m}_h = 0.75 \, \text{kg/s} \)
- **Cold Water Inlet (2):**
- Pressure: \( P_2 = 300 \, \text{kPa} \)
- Temperature: \( T_2 = 25 \, \text{°C} \)
- Mass Flow Rate: \( \dot{m}_c = ? \)
- **Mixed Warm Water Outlet (3):**
- Pressure: \( P_3 = 300 \, \text{kPa} \)
- Temperature: \( T_3 = 45 \, \text{°C} \)
- Mass Flow Rate: \( \dot{m}_3 \)
### Important Concepts:
- **Insulated Mixing Chamber:** Assumes no heat loss to surroundings.
- **Mass and Energy Balance:** Calculations should ensure the balance of mass and energy as no accumulation occurs due to steady state.
- **Pressure Continuity:** All streams maintain a constant pressure of 300 kPa throughout the process.
This setup assists in understanding practical applications of thermodynamics in fluid mixing processes, commonly used in various engineering systems.
