Q- A spherical tank contains 1 mole of helium gas at 10 bar and 300 K. The gas is slowly released to the atmosphere in such a way the remaining gas is maintained at constant total energy U. Heating or cooling may be used to keep U constant during the venting. Helium behaves as an ideal gas with a co…
