AI Thread Summary
To calculate the volume of one cubic metre of water under an absolute pressure of 7000 kPa, the concept of compressibility and elasticity is essential. The expected volume at this pressure is approximately 0.99682 cubic metres. Users are encouraged to refer to liquid water tables in thermodynamics textbooks for accurate values. There is some confusion regarding whether the question pertains to specific volume, which should be clarified. Accurate calculations require understanding the properties of water under varying pressures.

One cubic metre of water is placed under an absolute pressure of 7000 kPa. Calculate the volume at this pressure.

The answer is .99682 but I do not know how to get it. I believe that it has to do with Compressibility and Elasticity.

are you sure they are not asking for specific volume? just look under the liquid water tables in your thermo book

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
