Answer:
a) Tբ = 151.8°C
b) ΔV = - 0.194 m³
c) The T-V diagram is sketched in the image attached.
Explanation:
Using steam tables,
At the given pressure of 0.5 MPa, the saturation temperature is the final temperature.
Right from the steam tables (A-5) with a little interpolation, Tբ = 151.793°C
b) The volume change
Using data from A-5 and A-6 of the steam tables,
The volume change will be calculated from the mass (0.58 kg), the initial specific volume (αᵢ) and the final specific volume
(αբ) (which is calculated from the final quality and the consituents of the specific volumes).
ΔV = m(αբ - αᵢ)
αբ = αₗ + q(αₗᵥ) = αₗ + q (αᵥ - αₗ)
q = 0.5, αₗ = 0.00109 m³/kg, αᵥ = 0.3748 m³/kg
αբ = 0.00109 + 0.5(0.3748 - 0.00109)
αբ = 0.187945 m³/kg
αᵢ = 0.5226 m³/kg
ΔV = 0.58 (0.187945 - 0.5226) = - 0.194 m³

Answer:
a) Δd(change in wood diameter) = 5%
b) The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter
C) new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in
Explanation:
Wood pole diameter = 10 inches
moisture content = 5%
FSP = 30%
A) The percentage change in the wood's diameter
note : moisture fluctuations from 5% to 30% causes dimensional changes in the wood but above 30% up to 55% causes no change. hence this formula can be used to calculate percentage change in the wood's diameter
Δd/d = 1/5(30 - 5)
Δd/d = 5%
Δd = 5%
B) would the wood swell or shrink
The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter
C) The new diameter of the wood
D2 = D + D( )
D = initial diameter= 10 in , M1 = initial moisture content = 5%
therefore D2 = 10 + 10( 5/100 )
new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in
