Question

An adiabatic cylinder(i.e. perfectly insulated from surroundings) is divided into two chambers A and B by a moving wall that: - Moves without friction - Does not conduct heat Each of the two chambers initially contains 20 liters of an ideal gas at 25C (298K) and 1 atmosphere. Gas in chamber A is slowly heated by means of a heat resistance until pressure in chamber B is equal to 2 atmosphere. Determine: a. Work transferred from chamber A to chamber B b. Final T in chamber A c. Heat given by the heat resistance to gas in chamber B Use Cv = 20.80 J/K.mol and Ƴ= 1.4
