A 3 - m 3 rigid tank ( Tank A ) has air at 2 0 0 kPa and 5 0 0 K . The

A 3-m3 rigid tank (Tank A) has air at 200kPa and 500K. The tank is connected by a valve to an empty piston-cylinder device (Cylinder B). The piston has a mass of 20kg and a cross-sectional area of 0.2m2.
The valve is opened and the piston moves slowly upward 0.5m and then the valve is closed. During the process, the air temperature remains at 500K. If the atmospheric pressure is 101.3kPa, determine the pressure in the cylinder needed to float the piston and the final pressure in the tank A. The gas constant R for air is 0.2870kPa*m3kg*K.
Hint: to solve this problem you will have to consider multiple systems separately.
Ans: 102.3kPa,196.6kPa
