SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving Part a of Callen 5.1-2, which involves understanding the principles of adiabatic reversible expansion of an ideal gas. Participants emphasize the importance of demonstrating effort before seeking assistance, particularly in calculating changes in internal energy and work done by a piston during volume changes. The conversation highlights the need for a solid grasp of thermodynamic equations related to gas behavior.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of adiabatic processes in thermodynamics
- Familiarity with the ideal gas law
- Knowledge of internal energy calculations
- Experience with work-energy principles in physics
- Study the equations governing adiabatic reversible expansion of ideal gases
- Learn how to calculate changes in internal energy for ideal gases
- Explore the work done by a piston in thermodynamic systems
- Review the principles of thermodynamic cycles and their applications
Students of thermodynamics, physics enthusiasts, and anyone preparing for exams involving gas laws and energy calculations will benefit from this discussion.

Just to be sure, please tell us your results for part a.
In part b, they pretty much tell you how to bring about the change. Suppose you displace the piston to the right by a volume change ΔV. Do you know how to calculate the change in internal energy of each of the chambers, or the amount of work done by the piston on the gas in either chamber to bring about these volume changes? (I assume you have learned the equations for an adiabatic reversible expansion of an ideal gas.)

Hello duc, welcome to PF. 
Interesting exercise. Is there anything we can do for you ?
If you would like some assistance, please follow the guidelines. For mortals it's an infraction to assist folks who don't demonstrate an effort to attempt a solution.
