A pipe fitted with a closed valve connects two tanks. One tank contains a 5kg mixture of 62.5 percent CO2 and 37.5 percent O2 on a mole basis at 30C and 125kpa. The second tank contains 10kg of N2 at 15C and 200kPa. The valve in the pipe is opened and the gases are allowed to mix. During the mixing process 100kJ of heat enrgy is supplied to the combined tanks. Determine the final pressure and temperature of the mixture and the total volume of the mixture.

A closed, rigid tank fitted with a paddle wheel contains 2.2 kg of air, initially at 200oC, 1 bar. During an interval of 20 minutes, the paddle wheel transfers energy to the air at a rate of 1 kW. During this time interval, the air also receives energy by heat transfer at a rate of 0.5 kW. These are the only energy transfers. Assume the ideal gas model for the air, and no overall changes in kinetic or potential energy....
