What is the speed of sound in Neon gas at a temperature of $$500$$ $$K$$ (Gas constant of Neon is $$0.4210$$ $$kJ/kg$$-$$K$$)?

A small steam whistle (perfectly insulated and doing no shaft work) causes a drop of $$0.8$$ $$kJ/kg$$ in the enthalpy of steam from entry to exit. If the kinetic energy of the steam at entry is negligible, the velocity of the steam at exit is

When an ideal gas with constant specific heats is throttled adiabatically, with negligible changes in kinetic and potential energies

A rigid insulated cylinder has two compartments separated by a thin membrane. While one compartment contains one kmol nitrogen at a certain pressure and temperature, the other contains one kmol carbon dioxide at the same pressure and temperature. The membrane is ruptured and the two gases are allowed to mix.

Assume that the gases behave as ideal gases. Calculate the increase in entropy of the contents of the cylinder. Universal gas constant equal to $$8314.3$$ $$J/kmol$$ $$K.$$
