With the valves open, the radiator of a steam heating system has a volume of 0.06m³ and contains dry saturated vapor (x = 1.0) at 0.14MPa. After the valves are closed on the radiator, the pressure drops to 0.07 MPa as a result of heat transfer to the room.

A. Determine the total mass (kg) contained in the radiator.

B. Determine the final mass (kg) and volume (m³) of vapor.

C. Determine the final mass (kg) and volume (m³) of liquid.
