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.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
