22. From Table 2- 18 page 2-88, the partial pressure of HNO3 is 3.17 mm Hg and that of water
is 8.8 mm Hg. Thus, HNO3 is 0.147 m-% and H2O is 1.12 m-%
23. From Table 2 151, page 2 157 the heat capacity of diamond is given by the equation
Cp = 2.162 + 0.003059 T 130300/T2 where T is in K.
Thus, Cp = 3.026 cal/mol-K
24. From Fig. 2-7 page 2-220, the enthalpy of saturated liquid is 300 kJ/kg and for saturated
vapor is 1950 kJ/kg
25. From Table 2-304, Page 3-412, the specific volumes of ice and water vapor are 0.01745
and 5.662 x 103 ft3/lb and the corresponding pressure is 5.045 x 10-2 psia.
26. From Table 2-305, Page 2-413, these conditions indicate saturated liquid water and the
speed of sound through this liquid is 1509.5 m/s. As a comparison, the speed of sound in
dry air at 20oC is about 343 m/s, in water at room conditions is about 1480 m/s.
27. From Table 2-309, surface tension is 32.96 dyne/cm.
28. From Fig. 12-3, page 12-10, the Mollier psychrometric chart gives 55 kJ/kg dry air and H=
0.065 kg/kg dry air.
29. From Fig. 12-23, page 12-39, the moisture content is about 10%
30. From Fig. 6-59, page 6-54, u = 14 cm/s within the spherical region.
Eotvos Num = 0.14
31. From Table 16-5, page 16-10, the surface area is between 0.6 to 0.8 km2/kg, the sorptive
capacity is between 0.35 to 0.50 kg/kg dry solids.
32. The absolute pressure is 29.92 29.0 = 0.92 say 1 in Hg vac abs.
From Fig. 10-103 page 10-60 use a dry vacuum reciprocating pump or a two- stage
steam jet ejector.
33. Use Eq. 6-50 on page 6-12
34. See page 25-31.
