Answer:
The total internal energy is 280.17 Btu.
The enthalpy is 280.54 Btu
Explanation:
P = 100 psia = 100/14.5 = 6.897 bar
Using the steam table, the internal energy at 6 and 7 bar are 669 and 696 kJ/kg respectively.
The internal energy at 6.897 bar is obtained by interpolation
P. U
6. 669
6.897. y
7. 696
6.897-6/7-6 = y-669/696-669
0.897×27 = y-669
y = 669+24.219 = 693.219 kJ/kg
Mass of container = 0.94 lbm = 0.94×0.45359 = 0.4263746 kg
Total internal energy = 693.219 kJ/kg × 0.4263746 kg = 295.6kJ = 295.6/1.05506 = 280.17 Btu
Enthalpy at 6.897 bar = 694.219 kJ/kg × 0.4263746 kg = 295.99 kJ = 295.99/1.05506 = 280.54 Btu
