A rigid, well-insulated tank is initially empty. The tank is kept connected by means of a valve to a steam line carrying steam at 2 MPa and 400 °C. The valve is opened and the steam flows slowly into the tank until the tank pressure balances with the pressure of the line. Determine the final temperature of the steam in the tank. *Take note that the line pressure is kept constant during this process.

Entropy

In physics, entropy means the amount of disorder or the degree of randomness associated with a thermodynamic system. The system is not self-organized when the entropy of the system is high. For instance, when a system is at an elevated temperature, its molecules are in random motion, vibrating and colliding with each other. During this scenario, the probability of finding a molecule at a particular place twice, is low. Under this circumstance, the system can be said to be in a high entropy.
