Click For Summary
At a pressure of 200 kPa, the quality of the mixture is calculated to be approximately 10.7%. The specific volumes for liquid water (vf) and vapor (vg) at this pressure are 0.001061 m³/kg and 0.88578 m³/kg, respectively. The volume of liquid water in the cylinder can be expressed as A * 0.01 m, while the volume of vapor is A * 1 m. The mass of liquid water and vapor can be determined using the specific volumes and the respective volumes calculated. This analysis helps clarify the relationship between pressure, quality, and the properties of water in the cylinder.

A vertical circular cylinder holds 1 cm of liquid water and 100 cm of vapour.
If P = 200 kPa, the quality is nearest to _____.
1)1.02%
2) 10.7%
3) 40.6%
4) 80.3%
Answer is 2). Why? i can't seems to work out the answer.
From Steam table, at P=200kPa, (Specfic volume) vf= 0.001061, vg= 0.88578

If the cross sectional area of the cylinder is A (cm^2), in terms of A, what is the volume of liquid water in the cylinder (in m^3)? What is the volume of water vapor in the cylinder (in m^3). What is the mass of liquid water in the cylinder? What is the mass of water vapor in the cylinder?
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
