A rigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. One part of the tank contains 1.5 kg of compressed liquid water at 300 kPa and 60°C and the other side is evacuated. Now the partition is removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. If the final pressure in the tank is 15 kPa, determine the energy destroyed during this process. Assume the surroundings to be at 25°C and 100 kPa.
