Question

A rigid vessel contains water at 0.15 MPa (at 25 °C). The vessel is heated to the critical point of water. Calculate the fraction of mass of liquid at 25°C.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.8078 Kg

Explanation:

Pressure of water = 0.15 MPa = 1.5 bar

At critical point of water ,temperature = 647 K=374°C

From the ideal gas equation

P×V= m×R×T

Let us assume volume = 1 m^3

1.5 x 105 x 1 = m x 287 x 647

m= 0.8078 kg

the fraction of mass of liquid at 25°C.
