TE 303 - HW #2, P4 - Isochoric Heating of Water - 8 pts

Five kilograms of H2O are contained in a closed, rigid tank at an initial pressure of 20 bar and a quality of 50%. Heat transfer occurs until the tank contains only saturated vapor. Determine the volume of the tank, in m3, and the final pressure in bar.

Please note that State 2 is not necessarily at the critical point. Remember that a P-V diagram is asymmetric. So, state 2 should be somewhere to the right of the critical point.
