Question 2. An insulated pressure vessel divided into two parts. One part of vessel is occupiedby an ideal gas at a pressure P1, volume V1 & temp T1.The other part occupied by the same gas at a pressure P2, volume V2, & temp T2. The partition is removed and the two parts are mixed. Then show that the final pressure P3 & final T3 is

Question 2. An insulated pressure vessel divided into two parts. One part of vessel is occupiedby an ideal gas at a pressure P1, volume V1 & temp T1.The other part occupied by the same gas at a pressure P2, volume V2, & temp T2. The partition is removed and the two parts are mixed. Then show that the final pressure P3 & final T3 is
Solution:
Same ideal gas
PV = mRT ...................................................................(1)
Mass Conservation : m1+m2 = m3 ......................................(2)
Energy conservation: m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m3 u3
m1 Cv T1 + m2 Cv T2 = m3 Cv T3
m1 T1 + m2 T2 = m3 T3
Use PV = mRT,
P1 V1/ R + P2 V2/R = P3 V3/R
"R" Is canceled out with each other, so
P1 V1 + P2 V2 + = P3 V3
P3 = P1 V1 + P2 V2/V3
(:: V3= V1+V2 )
P3 = P1 V1+ P2 V2/V1+V2 .............................................. (3)
Use mass conservation equation(2) and Ideal gas equation(1)
m1+ m2 = m3
P1V1/RT1 + P2V2/RT2 = P3V3/RT3
"R" is canceled out with each other because it has same value, so
P1V1/T1 + P2V2/T2 = P3V3/T3
T3 = P3V3/ P1V1/T1 + P2V2/T2 .....................................(4)
Equation 3 and 4 are value of P3 and T3
