Tank A which is completely insulated contains 1 kg of oxygen at 15°C and 300 kPa. It is connected to the 2-m3 tanks B through a valve as shown below. Tank B is not insulated and contains nitrogen at 50°C and 500 kPa. An engineer opens the valve connecting the two tanks to allow the two gauges to mix. Once the valve is opened, oxygen and nitrogen form a homogeneous mixture at 25°C. Determine (a) the final pressure in the tank, (b) the heat transfer from tank B, and (c) the entropy change in the system during this process.

Question

Tank A which is completely insulated contains 1 kg of oxygen at 15°C and 300 kPa. It is
connected to the 2-m3 tanks B through a valve as shown below. Tank B is not insulated
and contains nitrogen at 50°C and 500 kPa. An engineer opens the valve connecting the
two tanks to allow the two gauges to mix. Once the valve is opened, oxygen and nitrogen
form a homogeneous mixture at 25°C. Determine (a) the final pressure in the tank, (b)
the heat transfer from tank B, and (c) the entropy change in the system during this
process.
