A five m3 tank containing air at 25 C and 500 kPa is connected through a valve to another tank containing 3 kg of air at 35 0C and 100 kPa. Now the valve is opened, and the entire system is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium with the surroundings, which are at 20 0C. Determine the volume of the second tank and the final equilibrium pressure of air. Assumption: At specified conditions, air behaves as an ideal gas. The gas constant of air, R = 0.287 kJ/kg.K
