As shown in Fig. P5.5, a rigid insulated tank is divided into halves by a partition. On one side of the partition is a gas. The other side is initially evacuated. A valve in the partition is opened and the gas expands to fill the entire volume. Using the Kelvin–Planck statement of the second law, demonstrate that this process is irreversible.
