Problem 211HP
A piston/cylinder has a water volume separated in VA = 0.2 m3 and VB = 0.3 m3 by a stiff membrane (Fig. P3.211). The initial state in A is 1000 kPa, x = 0.75 and in B it is 1600 kPa and 250°C. Now the membrane ruptures and the water comes to a uniform state at 200°C. What is the final pressure? Find the work and the heat transfer in the process.
