Problem 1: An insulated cylinder is divided into two parts: one part has a volume of 5 L and contains steam at 1 bar, 200 °C; the other part has a volume of 2 L and contains steam at 2 bar, 400 °C. The partition that divides the cylinder is removed and the contents are allowed to reach equilibrium without heat losses to the surroundings.

a) Determine the pressure and temperature in the final state assuming steam to be an ideal-gas. Is ideality an acceptable assumption?

b) Repeat using the steam tables.
