Physics

An insulated cylinder is initially divided into halves by africtionless, thermally conducting piston. On one side of thepiston is 1 m3 of a gas at 300 K, 2 bar. On the other side is 1 m3of the same gas at 300 K, 1 bar.The piston is released andequilibrium is attained, with the piston experiencing no change ofstate. 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.
