Tutorial 3: Properties of Pure Substances Can Be Compressed

1. What is the difference between saturated liquid and compressed liquid?

2. What is the difference between saturated vapor and superheated vapor?

3. What is the difference between the critical point and the triple point?

4. What is the physical significance of hfg? Can it be obtained from knowledge of hf and hg?

How?

5. What is quality? Does it have any meaning in the superheated vapor region?

6. Does hfg change with pressure? How?
