Question: A two-section container which is composed of air (subscript a) and H 2 (subscript H) is separated by a movable adiabatic piston. The initial data

A two-section container which is composed of air (subscript a) and H2 (subscript H) is separated by a movable adiabatic piston. The initial data are Va = 1 m3, Ta = 25 C, Pa = 0.15 MPa, PH = 0.15 MPa, and MH = 0.10 kg. There is a total heat transfer of 80 kJ to the air resulting in a final air temperature of Ta = 45 C. Find the temperature increase in the H2 and the work done on or by the H2. Assume both gases to be ideal and for hydrogen, assume the cv value to be constant where cV,H = 10.19 kJ/kg-K.
