Solution
For R134a properties, see http://www.irc.wisc.edu/properties/
Density = m/V = 3.5 / 0.25 = 14 kg/m^3
At 200 kPa and density = 14 kg/m^3, we get quality x = 0.713, Temperature T = -10.1 deg C,
internal energy u = 171 kJ/kg, enthalpy h = 185 kJ/kg
Total internal energy U = m*u = 3.5*171 = 598.5 kJ
Total enthalpy H = m*h = 3.5*185 = 647.5 kJ
2)
For H2O properties, see http://www.irc.wisc.edu/properties/
Density = m/V = 0.5 / 0.25 = 2 kg/m^3
At 1 MPa and density = 2 kg/m^3, we get quality x = superheated vapor, Temperature T = 812
deg C, internal energy u = 3680 kJ/kg, enthalpy h = 4180 kJ/kg
Total internal energy U = m*u = 0.5*3680 = 1840 kJ
Total enthalpy H = m*h = 0.5*4180 = 2090 kJ
