 Saturated liquid and vapor states examples
 A rigid tank contains 50 kg of saturated liquid water at 90°C. Determine the
pressure in the tank and the volume of the tank.

 A piston cylinder device contains 2 liters of saturated vapor at 300 kPa.

Determine the temperature and mass of the vapor inside the cylinder.

 A mass of 200 g of saturated liquid water is completely vaporized at a constant

pressure of 100 kPa. Determine (a) the volume change and (b) the amount of
energy added to the water.

 Saturated liquid-vapor mixture
 Quality could be one of the two intensive properties to define the state of the
mixture.
 The properties of the saturated liquid are the same whether it exists alone or in
a mixture with saturated vapor.
 During the vaporization process, only the amount of saturated liquid changes,
not its properties
 Two sub system – Homogeneous
 Properties of the mixture are the average of the saturated liquid and vapor
mixture.

 Saturated liquid-vapor mixture examples
 A rigid tank contains 10 kg of water at 90°C. If 8 kg of the water is in the
liquid form and the rest is in the vapor form, determine (a) the pressure in the
tank and (b) the volume of the tank.
 An 80-L vessel contains 4 kg of refrigerant-134a at a pressure of 160 kPa.
Determine (a) the temperature, (b) the quality, (c) the enthalpy of the
refrigerant, and (d) the volume occupied by the vapor phase.

 Compressed Liquid or subcooled liquid
 Tables are not commonly used (mostly not available)
 The format of tables that are available are similar to the superheated tables.
 The change in properties of the fluid is highly dependent on temperature. The dependency on
pressure is very less.
 With change in pressure the properties could be approximated to the saturated liquid data.
 Only exception is enthalpy (H = U + pV, what happens when p increases to very high value!)
 At low and moderate pressures the h value could be approximated to the saturated enthalpy values,
but not for above moderate and high pressures.

 Compressed Liquid or subcooled liquid
 Determine the internal energy of compressed liquid water at 80°C and 5 MPa,
using (a) data from the compressed liquid table and (b) saturated liquid data.
What is the error involved in the second case?

 Reference State and Reference Values
 Internal energy, enthalpy, entropy cant be measured

 The values only provide the difference from another state.

 Reference state need to be fixed.

 Different tables may have different reference states.
