Using Energy Concepts and the Ideal Gas Model

Two kg of air, initially at 5 bar, 350 K and 4 kg of carbon monoxide (CO) initially at 2 bar, 450 K are confined to opposite sides of a rigid, well-insulated container by a partition, as shown in Fig. P3.131. The partition is free to move and allows conduction from one gas to the other without energy storage in the partition itself. The air and CO each behave as ideal gases with constant specific heat ratio, k = 1.395. Determine at equilibrium (a) the temperature, in K, (b) the pressure, in bar, and (c) the volume occupied by each gas, in m³.
