Problem #3:
Consider a piston/cylinder assembly. Between region A and region B is a thin, rigid membrane, the mass
of which can be considered negligible. Region A has 0.5 kg of air initially at 200kPa and 300K. Region B
has 1 cubic meter of nitrogen at 100kPa and 400K. The piston between region B and the surroundings is
frictionless. In region A also sits a 0.01 kg copper block at the same temperature as the air. Consider a
system that includes all three substances. A process occurs such that the temperature of the entire
system increases to 500K. Determine the following:
A. The final pressure of the air.
B. The final volume of nitrogen
C. The change in total energy of the system.
D. What are the assumptions necessary to answer the first three questions?
