Question
- A rigid tank which acts as a perfect heat insulator and which has a negligible heat capacity is divided into two unequal parts A and B by a partition. Different amounts of the same ideal gas are contained in the two parts of the tank. The initial conditions of temperature T, pressure P, and total volume V are known for both parts of the tank. Find expressions for the equilibrium
temperature T and pressure P reached after removal of the partition. Assume that C, the molar heat capacity of the gas, is constant and that the process is adiabatic.
