Problem 266EUP

A water-filled reactor with a volume of 50 ft3 is at 2000 lbf/in.2, 560 F and placed inside a containment room, as shown in Fig. P3.101. The room is well insulated and initially evacuated. Due to a failure, the reactor ruptures and the water fills the containment room. Find the minimum room volume so that the final pressure does not exceed 30 lbf/in.2.
