Argon (Ar molecular weight is 34.94 g/mole), at 300 K, 1 bar with a mass flow rate of 1 kg/s enters the insulated mixing chamber and mixes with carbon dioxide (CO2 molecular weight is 44.01 g/mole) entering as a separate stream at 575 K, 1 bar with a mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s shown in the figure below. The mixture exits at 1 bar. Assume ideal gas behaviour and the specific heat, CP , of Argon and Carbon dioxide are (0.5189 kJ/kg k) and (0.9446 kJ/kg k) respectively. For steady-state operation,

   determine
- the molar analysis of the exiting mixture.
- The temperature of the exiting mixture, in K
