= 4(0.2046 + 0.3984) + 8(– 0.0871 + 0.1885) = 3.2232 kJ/K
i.e., Change in entropy = 3.2232 kJ/K. (Ans.)
+Example 9.20. An insulated vessel containing 1 mole of oxygen at a pressure of 2.5 bar
and a temperature of 293 K is connected through a valve to a second insulated rigid vessel
containing 2 mole nitrogen at a pressure of 1.5 bar and a temperature of 301 K. The valve is
opened and adiabatic mixing takes place. Assuming that oxygen and nitrogen are perfect gases
calculate the entropy change in the mixing process.
Assume the following specific heats at constant volume :
cv(O 2 ) = 0.39 kJ/kg K
cv(N 2 ) = 0.446 kJ/kg K.
Solution. Consider the system within the boundary of Fig. 9.11.

In the process : Q = 0, W = 0, hence by the first law for a non-flow process ∆U = 0. Let T 2
be the final temperature of the mixture.
∴ mc T mc TOON N 2 vv(O ) 2 22 + (N ) 2 2 = mcON 2 vv(O ) 2 +mc 2 (N ) 2 T 2
or [(1 × 32) × 0.39 × 293 + (2 × 28) × 0.446 × 301] = (1 × 32 × 0.39 + (2 × 28) × 0.446] T 2
