Problem

a

) If the temperatures within the two tanks of Problem 3.4-9, before opening the valve, had been

T = 300

K and

350

K, respectively, what would the final temperature be?

b

) If the first tank had contained He at an initial temperature of 300 K, and the second had contained a diatomic ideal gas with

c = 5/2

and an initial temperature of 350 K, what would the final temperature be? Answer:

a)

T_f = 330

\quad b)

T_f = 337
