A 1-m3 tank containing air at 25 °C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to another tank containing 5 kg of air at 35 °C and 200 kPa. Now the valve is opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 20 °C. Determine the volume of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air.

Answer from: xeskimopie

Volume of the second tank is 3.21m³

Final eguilibrium presssure is 284.13kpa

Explanation:

Volume of the tank A, V_A=1m^3

Temperature of air in tank A, T_A = 25^0C = 298K

Pressure of air in tank A, P_A = 500kPa

Mass of air in tank B, m_b = 5kg

Temperature of air in tank B, T_B = 35^0C = 308k

Pressure of air in tank B, P_B = 200kPa

Surrounding temperature, T_s_u_r_r = 20^0c = 293K

Assuming, at given conditions air behaves as an ideal gas.

For air, gas constant R = 0.287 kJ/kmol K

From ideal gas equation, mass of air in tank A is determined by

$m_A = \frac{P_AV_A}{RT_A} \\\\m_A = \frac{500\times1}{0.287\times298} \\\\m_A = 5.846kg$

Volume of the tank B can be determined from

$V_B=\frac{m_BRT_B}{P_B} \\\\V_B = \frac{5\times0,287\times308}{200} \\\\V_B = 2.21m^3$

so,when the valve is opened

Total volume,

$V = V_A+V_B\\V= 1+2.21\\V=3.21m^3$

Volume of the second tank is 3.21m³

Total mass of air,

$m= m_A+m_B\\m = 5+5.846\\m= 10.846kg$

The final equilibrium pressure (P) can be obtained from the ideal gas equation applied to total volume

$P = \frac{mRT_s_u_r_r}{V} \\\\P=\frac{10.846\times0.287\times293}{3.21} \\\\P= 284.13kpa$

Final eguilibrium presssure is 284.13kpa

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
