Determine the temperature at which water in an uncovered pan will boil in Denver. bar =83.4 kPa =83.4x10' Pax = 0,834bar u . TOF Pa p=0.834bar->T=T,, =? From Table A-3: p=0.8bar 1 =93.50°C p=09bar T=96.71°C 96. 0914 => T=93.5+2=94.59°C Sc2) A rigid tank with a volume of 2.5 m? contains 5 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 75°C. Now the water is slowly heated until the liquid in the tank is completely converted to saturated vapor. a) Determine the quality x at the initial state. b) Determine the temperature at which the tank is filled with saturated vapor. From Table A-2 @ Ti = 75°C: 1.025910? mivkg 4.131 m/kg Vp #X:Vig => %, = 0.121 @ State 2: ve=vi=0.5 mifkg e From Table A-2 @ vg = 0. 0.5m? /kg - 0.5089m3 /kg T, -140°C 0.3928m>/kg—0.5089m>/kg 150°C-140°C => T, =140.7°C3/3 3) Consider a two phase mixture at 100°C with x; = 0.9. Determine the specific volume.
