AI Thread Summary
When a valve is opened in a vessel containing a liquid-vapor water mixture at 3000 kPa, the liquid water flows out while the vapor pressure remains constant due to the high temperature. As the liquid drains, the volume of vapor above increases, necessitating evaporation of water to maintain the partial pressure. This evaporation occurs at the same rate as the liquid flows out, keeping the total volume of water inside the control volume constant. The system relies on the balance between liquid removal and vapor generation to sustain equilibrium. Thus, the dynamics of liquid and vapor phases are crucial in understanding the behavior of the mixture during evacuation.

TL;DR Summary
evacuation of a liquid-vapor water mixture
suppose i have liquid and vapor water inside a vessel at say 3000kPa, then i suddenly open the valve, as the water (liquid) flows out the vessel (control volume) is water inside the cv evaporating at the same rate liquid flows out? so the volume of water inside the cv remains constant?

3000 kPa is the vapour pressure of water at that temperature.
The valve at the bottom drains liquid water only.
As the liquid is removed, the gas volume above rises.
Water must evaporate to maintain the partial pressure.
 
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
