AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on clarifying the concept of "quality" in a vapor/water mixture, defined as the mass fraction of vapor present. Participants express confusion over the correct use of symbols and units, leading to some initial misunderstandings. It is clarified that vf represents the specific volume of liquid, while vg represents the specific volume of steam. One participant acknowledges a mistake in their earlier interpretation of these terms. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of accurate terminology in thermodynamic calculations.

Homework Statement
1.- A 20 L container without air contains 5 kg of pure water at 250 Celcius. Determines the mass and volume of the liquid water as well as the quality and moisture.

2.-An 80% quality saturated water vapor mixture has a temperature of 210 Celsius. Determine the pressure, the specific volume of the mixture as well as the specific energy of the mixture
Relevant Equations
X = v - vf/vg - vf
v = V/m
x = mg / n
Vg = mg (vg)
Hello! ;)
I need help with two problems.

I ready resolve it, but i have a question about if a use the units of the correct way. Because got a little strange results.

No idea what you mean by "quality" and your symbols are a bit cryptic. Please elaborate.

Quality: mass fraction of vapor in a liquid/vapor mixture
vf = specific volume of steam
vg = specific volume of liquid
x = quality

Looks like it's the other way round, looking at the numbers.

so, sorry. Yep, my mistake
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
