Question: Nitrogen at 600 kPa, 127C is in a 0.5 m3 insulated tank connected to a pipe with a valve to a second insulated initially empty

Nitrogen at 600 kPa, 127°C is in a 0.5 m3 insulated tank connected to a pipe with a valve to a second insulated initially empty tank of volume 0.5 m3, shown in Fig. P8.105. The valve is opened and the nitrogen fills both tanks at a uniform state. Find the final pressure and temperature and the entropy generation this process causes. Why is the process irreversible?
