a) Since we know that the quality is 0.7, we know that the water is a saturated mixture. We go to
Table A-5 and look for 200 kPa (0.2 MPa). We find that the temperature is T sat = 120.23 C. To
find h, we read off hf = 504.70 kJ/kg and hfg = 2201.9 kJ/kg. h = hf + x hfg = 2046.03 kJ/kg.
b) First, we need to find out what phase this water is in. We go to Table A-4, and see that at 140 C,
the value for h given falls between hf and hg. Therefore, the water is a saturated mixture.
Pressure is Psat at 140 C, or 361.3 kPa. To find the quality, we read off hf = 589.13 kJ/kg and hfg
= 2144.7 kJ/kg. x = (h hf )/hfg = 0.564.
c) When quality is given as 0.0, we know that the state is a saturated liquid. Go to Table A-5, and
from 950 kPa (0.95 MPa), we read T sat = 177.69 C and h = hf = 753.02 kJ/kg.
d) To find the state for this problem, we can either start with Table A-4 or A-5. I will choose A-4,
and see that Psat for water at 80 C is 47.39 kPa, which is considerably lower than 500 kPa.
Therefore, we know that this water is a compressed liquid. Going to the compressed liquid table
(A-7), we find that there is no entry for 500 kPa that is because at this pressure and
temperature, the property of water does not change significantly from properties of water at
saturated liquid state. We will go back to Table A-4, and use the values for saturated liquid at
80 C: hf = 334.91 kJ/kg. The quality is non-applicable in this case.
e) Since we are given the pressure, we will start in Table A-5. At 800 kPa, the value for h given is
greater than hg; therefore, we have a superheated vapor. Turning to Table A-6, at 800 kPa, the
value for h given corresponds to 350 C. Quality is non-applicable.

a) First, we will go to Table A-11 to find out what phase we have. At 20 C, u = 95 kJ/kg falls
between ug and uf; therefore, we have a saturated mixture. The pressure is the saturation
pressure, 571.6 kPa.
b) Since we know that this is a saturated liquid, we go straight to Table A-11 and look up the
saturation pressure at -12 C, which is 185.4 kPa. The internal energy is equal to uf at the same
temperature, 34.25 kJ/kg.
c) Because we are given pressure instead of temperature, we go to Table A-12. At 400 kPa, ug =
231.97 kJ/kg, which is less than the value that we are given. Therefore, we have a superheated
vapor. Turning to Table A-13, u = 300 kJ/kg falls between 80 C (u = 293.73 kJ/kg) and 90 C (u
= 302.84 kJ/kg). Interpolating between these values, we find T = 86.88 C.
d) From Table A-11, we see that at 8 C, the saturation pressure is 387.56 kPa, which is less than the
pressure that we are given; therefore, we have a compressed liquid. However, because the
pressure is not very high, we can use uf at 8 C to estimate: u = 60.43 kJ/kg.
