Thermo Question on isothermal expansion

AI Thread Summary
To determine the new pressure after an isothermal expansion of a saturated water vapor mixture at 200°C and an initial volume of 0.03 m³, the specific volume must be calculated using thermodynamic property tables. The mixture's volume doubles, leading to a need for updated pressure calculations based on the new specific volume. Users are encouraged to reference thermodynamic tables for accurate values at the given temperature and pressure. The correct equations for this scenario involve understanding the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature in phase changes. Utilizing these resources will facilitate finding the new pressure effectively.

Homework Statement


I have a mixture of saturared water liquid vapor mixture at 200 c, volume = .03 m^3 at 15.54 Bars... the mixture undergoes an isothermal expansion and the volume doubles, what is the new pressure?

mtotal = .301 kg

Homework Equations


this is my prob not sure which equation to use


The Attempt at a Solution



I am not sure which equation to use, and none of the tries i have made have worked... i assumed it as a linear equation and it didnt work...

Do you have tables of thermodynamic properties of fluids at different temperatures and pressures?

If so you can calculate the specific volume and use that to easily find the new pressure.
