Question: Problem 2 ( 4 points total ) We have a 2 m 3 tank initially filled with an ideal gas at 0 . 1 MPa

Problem 2(4 points total)
We have a 2m3 tank initially filled with an ideal gas at 0.1MPa and 300K. Our goal is to pressurize
this vessel to 1MPa, using a large external source of an ideal gas maintained at 300 bar and 300
K. The gas has a constant pressure heat capacity tilde(C)p=20.9JmolK.
In our model, we assume that the initial gas in the vessel (layer A) doesn't mix with the incoming
gas (layer B). Layer A is compressed by the entering gas (layer B) from 0.1 to 1MPa. As a result,
the final system contains two layers of gas, both at 1MPa but potentially at different temperatures.
Assumptions:
There's no heat transfer between the gas layers.
There's no heat transfer to the vessel during the process.
A. Calculate the final temperatures in layers A and B.
B. Calculate the entropy generated by the gas inside the vessel during the pressurization process
C. If we thermally isolate the system (layers A and B) from the environment and do not allow any
additional gas to enter, what is the maximum work we can obtain through reversible mixing of A
and B within the same vessel to reach a final homogeneous temperature? What will be the final
temperature and pressure in this case?
