Homework Statement



A saturated water mixture is heated.

P1=200kPa
m=0.5kg
V1=0.3m^3
V2=0.6m^3

find
T1
T2
Internal Energy

2. The attempt at a solution

Using the pressure tables and interpolation I found T2=120.12

stuck on T2 and internal energy.

Since you have the mass, for state 2, you can get the specific volume v2 by using v2=V2/m and read that off from the table.

Your table will also have values for specific internal energy, which when multiplied by mass, gives the internal energy.
