Question: Two rigid tanks are connected by a valve. The left tank is filled with 6 . 4 ft 3 of air initially at 3 1

Two rigid tanks are connected by a valve. The left tank is filled with 6.4 ft3
of air initially at 31.3 psia and 87.7
F. The right tank is filled with 14.3 ft3
of air initially at 17 psia and 108.6
F. The valve is opened and the system reaches equilibrium without gaining or losing any energy overall (meaning that the total energy of the air does not change). Assume that the specific heat is constant and can be taken at a temperature of 80
F.
a) What is the final temperature of the system after the valve is opened?
F
b) What is the final pressure of the air after the valve is opened?
psia
