Answer

$T_2=202.5°C$ $W_b=3125\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

From table A-6: Initial ($P_1=0.1\ MPa, T_1=150°C$): $v_1=1.9367\ m³/kg,\ u_1=2582.8\ kJ/kg$ Since the volume increases linearly with the pressure: $V_2=\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}V_1$ Given $V_1=50\ m³,\ P_2=0.15\ MPa$: $V_2=75\ m³$ Hence since $m=V/v$: $m_1=25.82\ kg$ and since the mass doubles: $m_2=51.64\ kg$, therefore: $v_2=1.4525\ m³/kg$ Form table A-6 ($P_2,v_2)$: $T_2=202.5°C$ Since the volume increases linearly with the pressure: $W_b=\dfrac{P_1+P_2}{2}(V_2-V_1)$ $W_b=3125\ kJ$
