There are two compartments in a rigid fully insulated tank of 14 m3 volume. First compartment contains 8 m3 of a gas (c = 1 kJ\kgK) at 0.7 MPa and 28∘C and other contain gas (c = 0.7 kJ/kgK) 6 m3 at 1MPa and 840∘C. If the portion between the gas is removed, what is the final temperature of the gas?
(Assume ideal gas behaviour)
mA=PVRT=0.7×8R×(28+273)=4215R
mB=PVRT=1×6R×(840+273)=2371R
⇒mAmB=3.451
From energy balance:
mAcA(T−301)=mBcB(1113−T)
3.451mB×1(T−301)=mB×0.7×(1113−T)
4.93T−1483.93=1113−T
T=437.9 K=164.9∘C
