Question:

A 400-L tank A, see figure P4.33, contains argon gas at 250 kPa, 30oC. Cylinder B, having a frictionless piston of such mass that a pressure of 150 kPa will float it, is initially empty. The valve is opened and argon flows into B and eventually reaches a uniform state of 150 kPa, 30oC throughout. What is the work done by the argon?
