Solution:

a) We use the table of Saturated water—Temperature. In the quality region the pressure is
given as p = 476.16 kPa
b) To find the mass of the vapor we must determine the quality. We use the next equation:

𝜈 = 𝜈𝑓 + 𝑥(𝜈𝑔 − 𝜈𝑓)

Then,

0.25 𝑚3/𝑘𝑔 = 0.00103 𝑚3/𝑘𝑔 + 𝑥(4.1289 − 0.00103)𝑚3/𝑘𝑔

0.25 = 0.00103 + 4.1289𝑥


4.1289𝑥 = 0.25 − 0.00103
4.1289𝑥 = 0.24897

𝑥 = 0.24897 (𝑚3/𝑘𝑔) ) /4.1289 (𝑚3/𝑘𝑔)

𝑥 = 0.06029935

Using the relationship of 𝑥 = 𝑚𝑔, we find the vapor mass


𝑚
𝑚𝑔 = 𝑥𝑚 = 0.06029935 ×4𝑘𝑔 = 2.411𝑘𝑔

c) The volume of the vapor is found from


𝑉𝑔 = 𝜈𝑔𝑚𝑔 = 2.411 𝑘𝑔×4.1289 𝑚3/𝑘𝑔 = 0.998 𝑚3
