Thanks for the reply! I am still confused about how hi can transform into Cp*Ti. I know there is a relationship between Δh = Cp(ΔT), but do not know if there is one for h=CpT. Or are there more complicated immediate steps in between the aforementioned Steps 1 & 2 that were not in the solution?
1. I am rather confused about the usage of Cp0 and Cv0 in the solutions to the question below:
In the solution to the depicted question, the solution involves setting up the equation as follows:
Q-W=me*he-mi*hi+m2*ue-m1*u1
-W=-mi*Cp*Ti+m2CvT2-m1CvT1
I don't follow for the second step. How can...
