Q2. Consider the well-insulated, rigid container shown below. Two compartments, A and B, contain H20 and are separated by a thin metallic piston. Side A is 10 cm long. Side B is 50 cm long. The cross-sectional area is 0.1 m?. The left compartment is initially at 20 bar and 250C; the right compartment is initially at 10 bar and 700C. The piston is initially held in place by a latch. The latch is removed, and the piston moves until the pressure and temperature in the two compartments become equal. Determine the final temperature, the final pressure, and the distance that the piston moved. Latch Thin metalic piston Well-insulated wall A PA= 20 bar TLA- 250C P- 10 bar T=700C 10 cm 50 cm
