Exercises on Saturated and Superheated Vapour

I. Intended Learning Outcomes

Students will demonstrate their ability solve problems involving saturated and superheated vapour.

II. Problems. Solve the following problems and show your solution on the space
provided.

Problems Solution

1. A mass of 250 grams of Given:

saturated liquid water is
completely vaporized at a
constant pressure of 120 kPa.
Determine the volume change
and the amount or energy
transferred to the water.
m=250 g x 1 kg/1000 g
=0.25 kg
vf= 1.0473 x 10-3 m3/kg
vg=1428.4 x 10-3 m3/kg
Solution:

a.) vfg = vg- vf

= 1428.4 x 10-3 m3/kg - 1.0473 x 10-3 m3/kg
vfg = 1.4273527 m3/kg

b.) Δv for 0.25 kg = m x vfg

= 0.25 kg x 1.4273527 m3/kg
= 0.356838 m3

 Problems Solution

3. A rigid tank contains Given:

m = 10 kg
10 kg of water at 90 0 C.
vf = 1.0360 x 10-3 m3/kg
If 8 kg of the water is in vg =1428.4 x 10-3 m3/kg
the liquid form and the Psat = 0.07014 M Pa
rest is in the vapor
form, determine the Solution:
pressure in the tank and a.) Pressure in The Tank
 0.07014 M Pa or 70.14 kPa
the volume of the tank.
b.) V of the liquid phase = (m)(vf)
= 10 kg (1.0360 x 10 -3
m3/kg)
= 0.01036 m3

c.) V of the vapor phase = (m)(vg)

= 2 kg (2361 x 10 -3
m3/kg)
= 4.722 m3

d.) Volume of the tank = V of the liquid phase + V of the vapor

phase
= 0.01036 m3 + 4.722 m3
= 4.732 m3
