3.2. Heat and Work

0.2 kg of argon (mon-atomic ideal gas, R = 0.208 kJ/kgK ), initially at 250K, are confined in an isochoric system of 0.15 m^3 volume, and 2.5 kg of xenon (mon-atomic ideal gas, R = 0.063 kJ/kgK ), initially at 420K, are confined in an isobaric piston-cylinder system at 1.8 bar. Both systems are brought into thermal contact and equilibrate their temperatures with no heat loss to the outside.

 

What is the final temperatures, pressures and volumes of both gases, the work done by both systems, and the amount of heat transferred between the two systems and the total generation of entropy?

(Sgen= ∫ Sgen dt ) and s=Cv =3/2R, Cp =5/2R
