A 1 m3 rigid tank has air at 1500 kPa and ambient 300 K connected by a valve to a piston cylinder. The piston of area 0.1 m2 requires 250 kPa below it to float. The valve is opened and the piston moves slowly 2 m up and the valve is closed. During the process air temperature *** at 300 K. What is the final pressure in the tank?
