Question: ( 3 5 % ) , Water initially occupies the left side of the rigid box shown below. It is separated from a vacuum on

(35%), Water initially occupies the left side of the rigid box shown below. It is
separated from a vacuum on the other side by a movable sliding partition. The 1.2 lb m of water
is initially at a temperature of 400F and pressure of 200 psia (State 1). In the first of two steps,
the slide is withdrawn and the water moves to occupy the entire box in an adiabatic process
where the pressure after, at State 2, is 140 psia. In the second step there is heat transfer to the
surroundings, leaving the water with a final temperature (State 3) of 250F. Find:
a) The volume of the box on the left side of the partition (ft3).
b) The temperature at State 2(F).
c) The total volume of the box (ft3).
d) The final pressure at State 3(psia)
e) The heat transfer for step 2(Btu)
