5 kg of saturated water mixture in a rigid container initially at the standard pressure (state 1) is heated at constant volumeto a pressure of 35 MPa (state 2). This heating is performed in such a way that the process passes through the critical point of the water:
a) What is the volume in m3 occupied by the vapor phase and the
liquid phase of the mixture at the initial condition (state
1)?
b) Determine the change in internal energy between the initial
state and final state of the process.
The standard pressure is 101.325 kPa.
