Homework Statement



Two subsystems with thermodynamic parameters (P1,V1,T1) and (P2,V2,T2) are separated by a movable diathermal wall Find the relation if any between the thermodynamic co-ordinates when they attain equilibrium.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



What I understand is at the thermodynamic equilibrium point the temperature of the system (and hence for both the subsystems) will be the same,T'1=T'2= T.The piston will mobe a bit and the two pressures P'1 and P'2 will be equal to each other as well.The volumes will be changed...

But are there any more subtle point that I am missing?There are no more conditions given...
Should it be anything like this:

(P'1*v'1/T)=(P'2*v'2/T) and hence, v'1=v'2?

where v'1 and v'2 are the specific volumes...

could you please upload everythings about thermodynamic...please i need it
 
The answer is fully detailed in Callen, Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics. Please, borrow this famous book in your favorite library...
 
can you help me?? what is the equation for specific heat capacity? is it Y=Cp/Cv??

also i can't remember how to rearange the equation P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2 i need to get T2 on its own

please help I am really stuck
