A spherical balloon initially 150 mm in diameter and containing R-12 at 100 kPa is connected to a 30-L uninsulated, rigid tank containing R-12 at 500 kPa. Everything is at the ambient temperature of 20C. A valve connecting the tank and balloon is opened slightly and remains so until the pressures equalize. During this process heat is exchanged so the temperature remains constant at 20C and the pressure inside the balloon is proportional to the diameter at any time. Calculate the final pressure and the work and heat transfer during the process.
