AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a thermodynamics problem involving pressure and quality. The user has calculated the quality as 0.9 but is uncertain about the next steps and the appropriate formulas to use. They mention needing to determine the initial temperature and consider using property tables for saturated water. At a pressure of 800 kPa, they identify the saturated temperature as 170.41 degrees Celsius. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding thermodynamic principles and utilizing relevant tables for accurate calculations.

What is the course? Is the problem from your textbook?
 


its thermodynamics and no its not from my textbook. For part a) i couldn't find a formula or anything that helps me work out the initial temperature. I'm thinking that i have to use the property tables for saturated water, and at 800kPa the saturated temperature is 170.41.would that be correct?
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
