Chapter 7, Problem 732(choose chapter or problem)
A rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 2.5 kg of compressed liquid water at 400 kPa and 608C while the other part is evacuated. The partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. Determine the entropy change of water during this process, if the final pressure in the tank is 40 kPa.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
A rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. One part is filled with compressed liquid water while the other side is evacuated. The partition is removed and water expands into the entire tank. The entropy change of the water during this process is to be determined.
