Explanation / Answer

specific volume=4.9/2.5=1.96 ft^3/lbm


using the steamtable for superheated steam and for a pressure of 90 psi and using the specific volume we get


specific enthalpy=290.833 Btu/lb


==> enthalpy=2.5*290.833=727.08Btu


specific internal energy=456 Btu/lb


==> internal enegry ,U=2.5*456=1140 Btu
