Example 3.1 (Pressure of Saturated Liquid in a Tank)
A rigid tank contains 50 kg of saturated liquid water at
90oC. Determine the pressure in the tank and the volume
of the tank.

EXAMPLE 3.2 (Temperature of Saturated Vapor in a Cylinder)
A piston–cylinder device contains 0.06 m3 of saturated
water vapor at 350 kPa pressure. Determine the
temperature and the mass of the vapor inside the
cylinder?
 Example (Using Interpolation)
Determine the specific volume of water vapor at a state where p= 10
bar and T=215°C.
