Question

3–34 The average atmospheric pressure in Denver (elevation = 1610 m) is 83.4 kPa. Determine the temperature at which water in an uncovered pan boils in Denver. Answer: 94.6°C

Answer 1

Answer:

T = 94.59  degree C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

P= 83.4 kPa

$P= 83.4 \times 10^3 Pa \frac{1 bar}{10^5 Pa}$

P = 0.834 bar

for Saturated table

P = 0.8 bar     T = 93.50 degree C

P = 0.9 bar     T = 96.71 degree C

from interpolation method

$\frac{0.834 - 0.8}{0.9 - 0.8} = \frac{z}{96.71 - 93.5}$

z = 1.0914

T = 93.5 + z = 94.59  degree C
