An insulated vessel with a total volume of 0.50m3 is divided by a rigid, thermally conductive diaphragm into two chambers A and B with equal volume. Chamber A contains air that is initially at 140kPa and 290K. Chamber B contains air that is initially at 4200kPa and 440K. a) What is the final equilibrium temperature of the system? State all assumptions you make. b)What is the final pressure on each side of the diaphragm? c)What is the entropy generated during this process? Use average specific heats for air.

Question

An insulated vessel with a total volume of 0.50m3 is divided by a rigid, thermally conductive diaphragm into two chambers A and B with equal volume. Chamber A contains air that is initially at 140kPa and 290K. Chamber B contains air that is initially at 4200kPa and 440K.

a) What is the final equilibrium temperature of the system? State all assumptions you make.

b)What is the final pressure on each side of the diaphragm?

c)What is the entropy generated during this process? Use average specific heats for air.
