At 180°C, water has vf = 0.0011274 m3/kg and vg = 0.1941 m3/kg. A saturated mixture of water at this temperature has a quality of 0.25.

(a) Determine the specific volume of the water.
(b) If the water has a mass of 1.5 kg, determine the total volume of the water.

Given: vf = 0.0011274 m3/kg; vg = 0.1941 m3/kg; x = 0.25

What will be an ideal response?


(a) v = x(vg-vf) + vf = 0.0494 m3/kg

(b) m = 1.5 kg. V = mv = 0.0741 m3
