SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the final pressure of steam undergoing a constant volume process, starting from an initial pressure of 0.1 MPa and temperature of 350°C, with a final temperature of 300°C. The correct approach involves using steam tables rather than linear interpolation, as indicated by user Chet. The final pressure should be determined by identifying the specific volume at the initial state and finding corresponding pressures at the final temperature from the steam tables. The correct final pressure is stated to be 93.4 kPa.
