Can you help me to solve this problem? Please also explain if this is an isothermal or adiabatic constant volume or constant pressure problem as this is what had me lost and I wasn't sure how to approach it from the start. Three vessels contain air at initial pressures, volumes and temperatures of : 1) 20 bar, 20m3, 300°C, 2) 1 bar, 40 m3, 20°C 3) and 8 m3, 90 bar, and 500°C  The three vessels are interconnected and valves are opened to allow the air in all three vessels to redistribute between the vessels. Calculate the final pressure and temperature of the air. Assume the vessels are well insulated.

Question

Can you help me to solve this problem? Please also explain if this is an isothermal or adiabatic constant volume or constant pressure problem as this is what had me lost and I wasn't sure how to approach it from the start.

Three vessels contain air at initial pressures, volumes and temperatures of :

1) 20 bar, 20m3, 300°C,

2) 1 bar, 40 m3, 20°C

3) and 8 m3, 90 bar, and 500°C 

The three vessels are interconnected and valves are opened to allow the air in all three vessels to redistribute between the vessels. Calculate the final pressure and temperature of the air. Assume the vessels are well insulated.
