Question: Problem 1 . ( 1 5 pts ) A rigid tank of volume 2 m ^ 3 initially contains air at 0 . 1 bar,

Problem 1.(15 pts) A rigid tank of volume 2 m^3 initially contains air at 0.1 bar, 290 K. A leak develops, and air flows in slowly from the surroundings which are at 1.1 bar, 312 K. After the tank and its surroundings come to equilibrium, and assuming the air is an ideal gas with constant specific heats evaluated at 300 K, determine:
(3 pts) What is the final temperature in the tank, in \deg C?
(4 pts) How much mass has entered the tank, in kg?
(8 pts) What is the amount of energy transfer by heat for a control volume that encloses the tank, in J?
