of a mixture of R-134a at 1 bar with quality of 75%.
[Ans: 6.916 kg]
7. A two phase liquid-vapour mixture of a substance has a pressure of 150 bar and
occupies a volume of 0.2 m

8. Water is contained in a closed, rigid, 0.2 m
3
tank at an initial pressure of 5 bar
and a quality of 50%. Heat transfer occurs until the tank contains only saturated
vapour. Determine the nal mass of vapour in the tank and the nal pressure.
[Ans; 1.064 kg, 10.5 bar]
9. Steam is contained in a closed rigid container with a volume of 1 m
3
. Initially,
the pressure and temperature of the steam are 7 bar and 500

C respectively. The
temperature drops as a result of heat transfer to the surroundings. Determine the
temperature at which condensation rst occurs and the fraction of the total mass
that has condensed when the pressure reached 0.5 bar. What is the volume occupied
by saturated liquid at the nal state? [Ans: 140
