A steam radiator made of copper has water at 200 kPa and 200°C flowing through it. Now the inlet and exit valves are closed, and 2 kg of the steam is sealed inside. The water is eventually cooled down to room temperature of 20°C.

Find the phase of water at the final state

A) Compressed Liquid

B) Saturated Liquid

C) Saturated Liquid-Vapor Mixture

D) Saturated Vapor

E) Superheated Vapor

-I know...

- The phase of water at final state isn't SATURATED LIQUID

-the initial volume: 2.16 m^3

-the specific volume of water in the final state: 1.08 m^3/kg
