Liquid Pressure Pressure vessel Vessel Water

AI Thread Summary

To determine the amount of liquid water in a pressure vessel, the mass of water (100 kg) and its volume (1 m³) are given, resulting in a density of 0.01 m³/kg. Calculating the percentages requires clarity on what is being measured, such as the liquid phase versus vapor phase. Utilizing a steam table alongside temperature or pressure data can aid in this calculation. A simultaneous equation may also be necessary for precise results. Accurate measurements and conditions are crucial for determining the liquid water percentage effectively.

So there is a mass of 100kg and volume of 1m^3. (Distiller water)

That's 0.01 m^3/kg

How do I calculate the percentages?

If you know the temperature or pressure you can use a steam table and a short simultaneous equation.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
