Chapter 4.5, Problem 41P
An insulated tank is divided into two parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 2.5 kg of compressed liquid water at 60°C and 600 kPa while the other part is evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. Determine the final temperature of the water and the volume of the tank for a final pressure of 10 kPa.

0.9MPa. with the piston rigidly held in position, the cylinder is cooled until the
pressure is 0.7MPa. Find the condition of the steam at the lower pressure.
