AI Thread Summary
When given a pressure of 600 kPa and a temperature of 25°C for R-134a, the values may not align in the same row of the refrigerant tables due to superheating. The pressure corresponds to a saturation temperature of approximately 21.58°C, indicating that the refrigerant is likely in a superheated state at 25°C. Since the superheated table does not list a value for 25°C, interpolation is necessary between the properties listed for 21.58°C and 30°C. This process allows for accurate determination of the refrigerant properties at the specified conditions. Understanding this interpolation is crucial for effective refrigerant management and system performance.

What does it mean when you are given a pressure and temperature of refrigerant and the values in the tables are not in the same row? Like 600 kpa and 25 degrees celsius. 600Kpa should be around 21.-- degrees.

Maybe it's superheated
 
That row for 25 deg Celsius is blank in the superheated table. What does that mean?
 
The first line shows the properties at Tsat (21.58 Celsius). The next line gives the properties at T=30 Celsius. Interpolate between those.
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

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...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
