Question: A 0.2 m3 insulated, rigid vessel is divided into two equal parts A and B by an insulated partition. The partition will support a pressure

A 0.2 m3 insulated, rigid vessel is divided into two equal parts A and B by an insulated partition. The partition will support a pressure difference of 400 kPa before breaking. Side A contains methane and side B contains carbon dioxide. Both sides are initially at 1 MPa, 30C. A valve on side B is opened, and carbon dioxide flows out. The carbon dioxide that remains in B is assumed to undergo a reversible adiabatic expansion while there is flow out. Eventually the partition breaks, and the valve is closed. Calculate the net entropy change for the process that begins when the valve is closed.
