Consider a well-insulated horizontal rigid cylinder that is divided into two compartments by a piston that is free to move but does not allow either gas to leak into the other side. Initially, one side of the piston contains 1 m3 of N2 gas at 500 kPa and 80°C while the other side contains 1 m3 of He gas at 500 kPa and 25°C. Now thermal equilibrium is established in the cylinder as a result of heat transfer through the piston. Using constant specific heats at room temperature, determine the final equilibrium temperature in the cylinder.
Two rigid tanks are connected by a valve. Tank A contains 0.2 m3 of water at 400 kPa and 80 percent quality. Tank B contains 0.5 m3 of water at 200 kPa and 250°C. The valve is now opened, and the two tanks eventually come to the same state. Determine the pressure and the amount of heat transfer when the system reaches thermal equilibrium with the surroundings at 25°C.
R-134a contained in a piston cylinder is to be condensed to a saturated liquid at constant pressure in a quasi-equilibrium process from an initial state of 1000 kPa and 180°C, where heat is exchanged with a thermal reservoir at 100°C. Determine if this process is possible. At what quality of R-134a will the process proceed reversibly?
A mass of 8 kg of helium undergoes a process from an initial state of 3 m3 /kg and 15°C to a final state of 0.5 m3 / kg and 80°C. Assuming the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa, determine the increase in the useful work potential of the helium during this process.
A piston–cylinder device contains 1.2 kg of nitrogen gas at 120 kPa and 27°C.a) The gas is now compressed slowly in a polytropic process during which PV1.3 = constant. The process ends when the volume is reduced by one-half. Determine the final temperature, pressure and entropy change of nitrogen during the process.b) If the gas, instead, undergoes an isentropic compression to one-half of its initial volume, what are the final temperature and pressure? (Please write assumptions)
An insulated rigid tank contains 4 kg of argon gas at 450 kPa and 30°C. A valve is now opened, and argon is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 200 kPa. Assuming the argon remaining inside the tank has undergone a reversible, adiabatic process, determine the final mass in the tank.

A well-insulated 4-m × 4-m × 5-m room initially at 10°C is heated by the radiator of a steam heating system. The radiator has a volume of 15 L and is filled with superheated vapor at 200 kPa and 200°C. At this moment both the inlet and the exit valves to the radiator are closed. A 120-W fan is used to distribute the air in the room. The pressure of the steam is observed to drop to 100 kPa after 30 min as a result of heat transfer to the room. Assuming constant specific heats for air at room temperature, determine the average temperature of air in 30 min.
