QUESTION N°3

A rigid and adiabatic container holds a mass of 40 Kg of steam that is at 80 °C.

If 37.5% of the mass is in liquid phase and the rest as vapor, determine:
a) Title.
b) Pressure of the container.
c) Volume of the container.
SOLUTION
a. The title is determined based on:

of mass in liquid phase

b. At T=80°C and x=0.625 (wet vapor), it is obtained from the table that P=47.36 kPa.
c. To determine the volume of the container, we first need to calculate the volume
specific to wet steam.

Therefore, the volume of the container is:

SOLVED EXERCISES PRACTICE No. 3

a. By formulating the equation of the first principle, we have that:

In equation 1 there are two unknowns, Uf and Vf. To resolve the indeterminacy, and taking into account
what , we propose:

By replacing in equation 1 with the relationship given in 2, we have that

Dividing both sides of the previous equation by , we obtain:

Finally, replacing with the given values

So:
