Helium in a steel tank is at 250 kPa, 300 K with a volume of 0.1 m3.

Question:

Helium in a steel tank is at 250 kPa, 300 K with a volume of 0.1 m3. It is used to fill a balloon. When the tank pressure drops to 150 kPa the flow of helium stops by itself. If all the helium still is at 300 K how big a balloon did I get? Assume the pressure in the balloon varies linearly with volume from 100 kPa (V = 0) to the final 150 kPa. How much heat transfer did take place?
