.(20 marks) A horizontal cylinder is separated into two compartments by an adiabatic frictionless piston. One side contains 0.2 m3 of nitrogen and the other side contains 0.1 kg of helium, both initially at 20C and 95 kPa. The sides of the cylinder and the helium end are insulated. Now heat is added to the nitrogen side from a reservoir at 500C until the pressure of the helium rises to 120 kPa. The properties of nitrogen near room temperature are R =0.2968 kJ /kg.K, cp =1.039 kJ/kg.K, cv =0.743 kJ/kg.K, k = cp/ cv =1.4. The properties for helium near room temperature are R =2.0769 kJ /kg.K, cp =5.1926 kJ/kg.K, cv =3.1156 kJ/kg.K, k =1.67. Determine (a) the final temperature of the helium (b) the final volume of the nitrogen (c) the heat transferred to the nitrogen (d) the entropy generation during this proces
