Answer

$m_i=5.645\ kg$ $P_i=8931\ kPa$

Work Step by Step

From table A-6: Initial ($P_1=1\ MPa, x_1=1$): $v_1=0.19436\ m³/kg,\ u_1=2582.8\ kJ/kg$ Final ($P_2=2\ MPa, T_2=300°C$): $v_2=0.12551\ m³/kg,\ u_2=2773.2\ kJ/kg$ From the material balance: $m_i=m_2-m_1$ With $V=mv$ and $V_t=2\ m³$: $m_1=10.29\ kg,\ m_2=15.94\ kg \rightarrow m_i=5.645\ kg$ From the energy balance: $m_ih_i=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ $h_i=3120.3\ kJ/kg,\ @400°C\rightarrow P_i=8931\ kPa$
