Nitrogen at 200oC, 300 kPa is in a piston cylinder, volume 5 L, with the piston locked

Question:

Nitrogen at 200oC, 300 kPa is in a piston cylinder, volume 5 L, with the piston locked with a pin. The forces on the piston require a pressure inside of 200 kPa to balance it without the pin. The pin is removed and the piston quickly comes to its equilibrium position without any heat transfer. Find the final P, T and V and the entropy generation due to this partly unrestrained expansion.
