Question: n insulated box is initially divided into halves by a frictionless, thermally conducting piston. On one side of the piston is 1 . 0 m

n insulated box is initially divided into halves by a frictionless, thermally conducting
piston. On one side of the piston is 1.0 m3 of air at 400 K,3 bar. On the other side
is 1.0 m3 of air at 400 K,1.5 bar. The piston is released and equilibrium is attained,
with the piston experiencing no change of state. Use the ideal gas model for the air and
determine:
a) the final temperature of the air, in K.
b) the final pressure of the air, in bar.
c) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K.
