What is the phase of the remaining contents


A 0.2-m3 rigid tank contains 6 kg of water at 5 MPa.

(a) What is the specific volume of the water?

(b) What is the temperature of the water?

(c) What is the total internal energy, U, of the water inside the tank, in units of kJ?

(d) If 35% of the total mass escapes into the atmosphere while the temperature is held constant, what is the phase of the remaining contents? Demonstrate how you arrive at your answer for credit.

(e) Carefully draw this process on a P-v diagram relative to the saturation curve. Label the initial and final points of the tank contents.

Please include clear work with all steps. Explain all formulas used and show what the variables mean (not everyone uses the same variables). First clear work gets a lifesaver. Answers are here except for (e), but I need the steps:

(a) v=0.0333m3 /kg
(b) 263.94°C
(c) U=14,182 kJ
(d) superheated vapor.
