A rigid, insulated vessel is divided into two compartments connected by a valve. Initially, one compartment, occupying 1.0 ft3, contains air at 50 lbf/in2, 725oR, and the other, occupying 2.0 ft3, is evacuated. The valve is opened and the air is allowed to fill both volumes. Assume the air behaves as an ideal gas and that the final state is in equilibrium. Determine the final temperature of the air, in oR, and the amount of entropy produced, in Btu/oR.

Determine the amount of entropy produced, in Btu/oR PLEASE

A rigid, insulated container is divided into three equal compartments and contains an ideal gas. All are at a constant temperature of 25 deg C. Compartment 1 is at a pressure of 1 bar, Compartment 2 is at a pressure of 2 bars and Compartment 3 is at a pressure of 6 bars. The partitions between compartments are removed suddenly and the gas is allowed to reach equilibrium pressure in the container. What will be temperature and pressure reached? Explain...

Sixty pounds of carbon dioxide gas are contained in a 100-ft3 rigid, insulated vessel initially at 4 atm. An electric resistor of negligible mass transfers energy to the gas at a constant rate of 12 Btu/s for 40 seconds. Use the ideal gas model and ignore the effects of motion and gravity. Let To = 70°F, po = 1 atm. -Determine the change in exergy of the gas, in Btu.

Two insulated containers are connected through an insulated line and a valve that is closed. Both sides contain 1 kg of steam but the left side is at 300 °C while the right side is at 200 °C. The valve is opened, allowing both sides to mix and reach a common temperature and pressure. a) Is this process reversible? b) What is the final pressure and temperature of the steam, if the steam is treated as an ideal gas? c)...

An insulated cylinder is initially divided into halves by a frictionless, thermally conducting piston. On one side of the piston is 1 m3 of a gas at 300 K, 2 bar. On the other side is 1 m3 of the same gas at 300 K, 1 bar.The piston is released and equilibrium is attained, with the piston experiencing no change of state. Employing the ideal gas model for the gas, determine (b) the final pressure, in bar. (c) the amount...

Air is contained in a rigid, well-insulated container of volume 3 m3. The air undergoes a process from an initial state with a pressure of 200 kPa and temperature of 300 K. During the process, the air receives 720 kJ of work from a paddle wheel. Model the air as an ideal gas with constant specific heats. Evaluate the specific heats at 300 K. Neglect changes in kinetic energy and potential energy. Determine the mass of the air in kg,...

A rigid copper tank, initially containing 1 m3 of air at 295 K, 4 bar, is connected by a valve to a large supply line carrying air at 295 K, 15 bar. The valve is opened only as long as required to fill the tank with air to a pressure of 15 bar. Finally, the air in the tank is at 310 K. The copper tank, which has a mass of 20 kg, is at the same temperature as the...
