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.
