Concept Problems 3.128E Cabbage needs to be cooked (boiled) at 250 F. What pressure should the pressure cooker be set for? Solution: If I need liquid water at 250 F I must have a pressure that is at least the saturation pressure for this temperature. Table F.7.1: 250 F Psat = 29.823 psia. 3.129E If I have 1 ft3 of ammonia at 15 psia, 60 F how much mass is that? Ammonia Tables F.8: F.8.1 Psat = 107.64 psia at 60 F so superheated vapor. F.8.2 v = 21.5641 ft3/lbm under subheading 15 psia 3 V 1 ft m= v = = 0.0464 lbm 21.5641 ft3/lbm 3.130E For water at 1 atm with a quality of 10% find the volume fraction of vapor. This is a two-phase state at a given pressure: Table F.7.2: vf = 0.01 672 ft3/lbm, vg = 26.8032 ft3/lbm From the definition of quality we get the masses from total mass, m, as mf = (1 – x) m, mg = x m The volumes are Vf = mf vf = (1 – x) m vf, Vg = mg vg = x m vg So the volume fraction of vapor is Vg Vg x m vg Fraction = V = V + V = x m v + (1 – x)m v g f g f = 2.68032 0.1 × 26.8032 = 2.69537 = 0.9944 0.1 × 26.8032 + 0.9 × 0.016 72

Notice that the liquid volume is only about 0.5% of the total. We could also have found the overall v = vf + xvfg and then V = m v.

3.137E Give the phase and the missing property of P, T, v and x. a. R-134a T = -10 F, P = 18 psia b. R-134a P = 50 psia, v = 1.3 ft3/lbm c. NH3 T = 120 F, v = 0.9 ft3/lbm d. NH3 T = 200 F, v = 11 ft3/lbm

Solution: a. Look in Table F.10.1 at –10 F:

P > Psat = 16.76 psia This state is compressed liquid so x is undefined and v = vf = 0.01173 ft3/lbm

b. Look in Table F.10.1 close to 50 psia there we see v > vg = 0.95 ft3/lbm so superheated vapor Look then in Table F.10.2 under 50 psia which is not printed so we must interpolate between the 40 and 60 psia sections. (60 psia, 1.3 ft3/lbm) : T = 300 F (40 psia, 1.3 ft3/lbm) : T = 66.6 F Linear interpolation between these gives T = 183 F for a better accuracy we must use the computer software. c. Look in Table F.8.1 at 120 F: v < vg = 1.0456 ft3/lbm so two-phase

P = Psat = 286.5 psia v - vf 0.9 - 0.02836 x= v = = 0.8569 1.0172 fg d. Look in Table F.8.1 at 200 F: v > vg = 0.3388 ft3/lbm so sup. vapor Look in Table F.8.2 start anywhere say at 15 psia, 200 F there we see v = 27.6 ft3/lbm so P larger We can bracket the state between 35 and 40 psia so we get 11 – 11.74 P = 35 + 5 10.2562 – 11.74 = 37.494 psia
