Answer

a) $T_3=\frac{1}{(\dot{m}_1+\dot{m}_2)}(\frac{\dot{Q}}{c_p}+\dot{m}_1T_1+\dot{m}_2T_2)$ b) $\dot{V}_3=\frac{\dot{R.Q}}{P.c_p}+\dot{V}_1+\dot{V}_2$ c) $\dot{V}_3=\dot{V}_1+\dot{V}_2$

Work Step by Step

a) Taking $T_{ref}=0K \rightarrow h=c_p(T-T_{ref})=c_pT$ The energy balance is: $\dot{Q}+\dot{m}_1h_1+\dot{m}_2h_2=(\dot{m}_1+\dot{m}_2)h_3$ $\dot{Q}+\dot{m}_1c_pT_1+\dot{m}_2c_pT_2=(\dot{m}_1+\dot{m}_2)c_pT_3$ $T_3=\frac{1}{(\dot{m}_1+\dot{m}_2)}(\frac{\dot{Q}}{c_p}+\dot{m}_1T_1+\dot{m}_2T_2)$ b) $\dot{V}_3=\frac{\dot{m}_3RT_3}{P_3}$ $\dot{V}_3=\frac{\dot{m}_3R}{P_3}\times\frac{1}{\dot{m}_3}(\frac{\dot{Q}}{c_p}+\dot{m}_1T_1+\dot{m}_2T_2)$ Since $P_1=P_2=P_3$ $\dot{V}_3=\frac{\dot{R.Q}}{P.c_p}+\frac{\dot{m}_1RT_1}{P_1}+\frac{\dot{m}_21RT_2}{P_2}$ $\dot{V}_3=\frac{\dot{R.Q}}{P.c_p}+\dot{V}_1+\dot{V}_2$ c) If $\dot{Q}=0$: $\dot{V}_3=\dot{V}_1+\dot{V}_2$
