An insulated tank initially contains 1.25 kg N2 gas at 150 kPa and 25oC. The tank is to receive 3.0 kg of N2 gas from a supply line with N2 at 20oC. Determine the final temperature and pressure of the N2 in the tank.

State i: Inlet (Supply Line); State 1: Initial State; State 2: Final State Given: N2; Ti = 20oC; P1 = 150 kPa; T1 = 25oC = 298 K; m1 = 1.25 kg; mi = 3.0 kg; P2 =600 kPa; Assume: Q = 0 (insulated). Also, as no information is given and these terms are unlikely to be significant, W = 0, and kinetic and potential energy can be neglected. No flow out of the tank. V = constant . N2 is an ideal gas with variable specific heats. What will be an ideal response?
