A reactor filled with water having volume 1 m3 is at 360°C, 20 MPa and placed inside a containment room which is well insulated and initially evacuated. Due to a failure, the reactor ruptures and water fills the room. Find the minimum room volume so that the final pressure does not exceed 200 kPa.

Thermodynamic Relations, Equilibrium and Stability topics include: Maxwells equation, energy equations, joule kelvin effect, clausis clapeyron equation, variable composition mixtures and equilibrium types. Thermodynamic equilibrium is a stable state where a system's properties remain constant over time. It's a state of equilibrium with respect to all possible changes, including thermal, mechanical, and chemical.  There are three types of thermodynamic equilibrium: Chemical equilibrium: A thermodynamic equilibrium in a system where direct and reverse chemical reactions are possible.
