Determining the amount of liquid water in a pressure vessel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the percentage of liquid water in a pressure vessel containing 100 kg of distilled water with a volume of 1 m³. The density of the water is established as 0.01 m³/kg. To determine the percentages accurately, users are advised to utilize steam tables and apply simultaneous equations, especially when temperature or pressure data is available.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic fluid mechanics
  • Familiarity with steam tables
  • Knowledge of simultaneous equations
  • Basic principles of thermodynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use steam tables for calculating phase changes in water
  • Study simultaneous equations in the context of thermodynamic calculations
  • Learn about the properties of distilled water under varying temperature and pressure
  • Explore fluid density calculations and their applications in engineering
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, physicists, and students in fields related to fluid dynamics and thermodynamics who are involved in calculations regarding liquid water in pressure vessels.

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?

The percentage of what?
 
If you know the temperature or pressure you can use a steam table and a short simultaneous equation.
