Problem 2(10 points)- Ideal gas closed system entropy analysis
The figure below shows a thermally insulated box that is initially divided into halves by a frictionless, thermally conducting piston with a very low specific heat. On one side of the piston is \(1.0\mathrm{~m}^{3}\) of air at \(400\mathrm{~K},3\mathrm{bar}\). On the other side is \(1.0\mathrm{~m}^{3}\) of air at \(400\mathrm{~K},1.5\) bar. The piston is released, and equilibrium is attained, with the piston experiencing no change of state. Considering that the air behaves as an ideal gas, please answer the following.
a. Apply suitable thermodynamic principles to determine the final temperature of the air, in K .
b. Compute final pressure of the air, in kPa .
c. The amount of entropy generated, in \(\mathrm{kJ}/\mathrm{K}\).
