As shown in the figure below, a rigid, insulated tank is divided into halves by a partition that has gas on one side and an evacuated space on the other side. When the valve is opened, the gas expands to all fill the entire volume. The principal source of irreversibility is unrestrained expansion Initially filled with a gas Volume = V Insulation Initially evacuated Valve Volume = V
