Adiabatic mixing of two fluids is irreversible because it involves an increase in entropy. When the two fluids mix, their individual molecular arrangements are disrupted, leading to increased disorder and randomness in the system, which is reflected in higher entropy. This irreversible increase in entropy makes the process of adiabatic mixing irreversible.

How can you determine witch of two fluids is denser without mixing the two fluids?

For simplicity, take equal volumes of each, and measure which one of them has the greater mass or weight. You can even take different volumes, and just use the definition of density, as mass / volume.


Why carnot cycle is called a two adiabatic and two isothermal process?

Adiabatic means there's no heat transference during the process; Isothermal means the process occurs at constant temperature. The compression and expansion processes are adiabatic, whereas the heat transfer from the hot reservoir and to the cold reservoir are isothermal. Those are the two adiabatic and isothermal processes.


Is mixing cement and water a irreversible change?

Mixing cement and water is a reversible change because the two substances can be separated by allowing the water to evaporate, leaving the solid cement behind. This process does not alter the chemical composition of either the cement or the water.


Is coffee irreversible?

The process of coffee cooling down and giving up heat to the environment is irreversible since the available heat in the environment will never re-heat the coffee. I believe the process of mixing coffee grinds with hot water is also irreversible. Theoretically it would be possible but i think you would have to do work on the system to separate the two which would make it irreversible.


What is the difference between magma mixing and assimilation?

Magma mixing occurs when two different magma bodies combine, leading to a new composition. Assimilation, on the other hand, involves the incorporation of host rock material into the magma, altering its composition. Magma mixing involves the interaction of two magmas, while assimilation involves the interaction between magma and surrounding rocks.

Is the adiabatic lapse rate higher when its cloudy or not?

There are two types of adiabatic lapse rates...wet and dry. (wet is also referred to as saturated or moist) To the extent that the cloudiness your question refers to represents saturated air, then no, the wet adiabatic lapse rate would be lower (approximately 1.5C/1000') than the dry adiabatic lapse rate (approximately 3C/1000').


What is the assumption to design heat exchanger?

The assumption to design heat exchanger is that it must be a shell and tube device. This device must allow the transfer of heat from one fluid to another without mixing the two fluids.
