An insulated cylinder is initially divided into halves by a frictionless, thermally conducting piston. On one side of the piston is 1 m3 of a gas at 300 K, 2 bar. On the other side is 1 m3 of the same gas at 300 K, 1 bar.The piston is released and equilibrium is attained, with the piston experiencing no change of state. Employing the ideal gas model for the gas, determine

(a) the final temperature, in K.

(b) the final pressure, in bar.

(c) the amount of entropy produced, in kJ/K.

(THERMODYNAMICS) A vertical cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains 1.5 kg of H2O initially at 100 °C, 400 kPa.  If the volume of the system reaches 0.5 m3, the piston hits a set of stops and is restrained from further upward travel. The system is heated to 200 C. (Use saturated water tables, steam tables, and superheated tables as necessary) a)   If the piston reaches the stops, determine the temperature and pressure when the piston first touches but exerts no force...
