CMT 458 ∙ NOOR HAFIZAH UYUP
 Answer

Temperature, Pressure, Internal energy, Quality Phase

ºc kPa kJ/kg description

c) 145 ? 2400 ? ?

From Table A-4 at 145 °C, we have uf = 610.19 kJ/kg and ug = 2554.4 kJ/kg.
Since uf < u < ug, therefore we have saturated mixture.

Then the pressure must be the saturation pressure at the given temperature:
The quality is determined from:
Answer

Temperature, Pressure, Internal energy, Quality Phase

ºc kPa kJ/kg description

d) ? 1000 2650 ? ?

From Table A-5 at 1000 kPa, we have uf = 761.39 kJ/kg and

ug = 2582.82554.4 kJ/kg. Since u > ug, therefore we have superheated
vapor.

The quality is NA since quality has no meaning for a superheated

vapor
From Table A-6 at 1 MPa, we can see that we don’t have the direct
value of given specific internal energy 2650 kJ/kg. Therefore, the
specific internal energy of this superheated vapor are obtained by
interpolation.

ºc kPa kJ/kg description

e) 25 50 ? ? ?

From Table A-5 at 50 kPa, we have Tsat = 81.32 °C. Therefore we have
compressed liquid since T < Tsat.

The quality is NA since quality has no meaning for a compressed liquid.

Given pressure is much lower than 5 MPa, then compressed liquid is

treated as saturated liquid at given temperature. Internal energy is
