13 Example 3.10 with some modifications-Two tanks are connected by a valve. One tank contains 2 kg of carbon monoxide gas (CO) at T=77 °C and P=0.7 bar. The other tank holds 8 kg of the nitrogen gas (N2) at T=27 °C and P=1.2 bar. The valve is opened and the gases are allowed to mix while receiving energy by heat transfer from the surroundings. The final equilibrium temperature is T_{final} =42 °C. Using the ideal gas model with constant $C_v$, determine (a) the final equilibrium pressure, $P_{final}$, in bar, (b) the heat transfer (Q) for the process, in kJ.
