Really quick question about finding specific volume in thermodynamics

Here is the situation, I have a Mollier Diagram(pressure-enthalpy diagram) for refrigerant R134. I had to draw a refrigeration cycle on the that find the specific volumes and enthalpies for each point. I read off the enthalpies at all 4 state points. Found the specific volumes for states 1 and 2 as they are in the superheated region where the specific volume lines contours are. But I don't know how to find the volumes at states 3 and 4.


I see state 3 lies on the saturated vapor line, so I think I should just use that specific volume as hf at the pressure.

State 4 lies at a point of known pressure and on a line where the quality(x) can be seen. To find v4, do I just use v4=vf+xvfg, or can this be somehow read off this diagram?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
v4=vf+xvfg is fine for the specific volume of state 4.
 
thanks then!
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
