Answer

$T_2=257\ K$ $P_2=956\ kPa$

Work Step by Step

From the material balance: $-m_e=m_2-m_1$ Given $m_2=m_1/2$ $m_e=m_1/2$ From the energy balance: $-m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ $-h_e=u_2-2u_1$ $-c_pT_e=c_vT_2-2c_vT_1$ Assuming $T_e\approx\dfrac{T_1+T_2}{2}$: $-k(T_1+T_2)=2T_2-4T_1$ Given $T_1=403\ K,\ k=1.667$: and solving for the final temperature: $T_2=257\ K$ For ideal gases: $PV=mRT$, and the volume is constant: $\dfrac{m_1T_1}{P_1}=\dfrac{m_2T_2}{P_2}=\dfrac{m_1T_2}{2P_2}$ Given $P_1=3\ MPa$ $P_2=956\ kPa$
