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 degrees 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.
