Problem 102P
A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 300 kPa and 600 K. Half of the gas is withdrawn from the lank and the gas is at 100 kPa at the end of the process. Determine (a) the final temperature of the gas and (b) the final pressure if no mass were withdrawn from the tank and the same final temperature were reached at the end of the process.

Problem 102P
A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at 300 kPa and 600 K. Half of the gas is withdrawn from the lank and the gas is at 100 kPa at the end of the process. Determine (a) the final temperature of the gas and (b) the final pressure if no mass were withdrawn from the tank and the same final temperature were reached at the end of the process.
ANSWER:
Part (a)
Step 1:
A rigid tank contains an ideal gas at initial pressure and half of the gas is withdrawn from the lank and the gas at the end of the process.
Initial pressure of the ideal gas P1 = 300 kPa
Initial temperature of the gas T1 = 600 K
Final pressure after withdrawing half of the gas P2 = 100 kPa
