A rigid, non conducting tank with a volume of 4 m3 is divided into two unequal parts by a thin membrane. One side of the membrane, representing 1/3 of the tank, contains nitrogen gas at 6 bar and 100 degree Celsius, and the other side, representing 2/3 of the tank, is evacuated. The membrane ruptures and the gas fills the tank. What is the final temperature of the gas? How much work is done? Assume nitrogen is an ideal for which Cp = (7/2)R and Cv = (5/2)R.

A 0.5 m^3 rigid tank contains nitrogen gas at 600 kPa and 300 K. Now the gas is compressed isothermally to a volume of 0.2 m^3. The work done on the gas during this compression process is
