Problem P. 4825. (March 2016)

P. 4825. A thermally insulated container is divided into two parts of volumes \(\displaystyle V\) and \(\displaystyle 2V\) by a thermally insulated piston. Initially both parts contain air at the temperature of \(\displaystyle T_0=300~\rm K\), and at the pressure of \(\displaystyle p_0=10^5~\rm Pa\). An electric heater of resistance \(\displaystyle R=100\,\Omega\), rated at \(\displaystyle U=230\) V, is built into that part which has a volume of \(\displaystyle V=2\) litres. The heater is operated until the values of the volume of the gas at the two parts ``swap over'', that is, in accordance with the figure the volume of the gas at the left hand-side of the container becomes \(\displaystyle V\), and the volume of the gas at the right hand-side becomes \(\displaystyle 2V\).

\(\displaystyle a)\) What are the temperature values at the two parts of the container at the end?

\(\displaystyle b)\) How long did the process take?
