Determine the following parameters for the water having quality x=0.7 at 200 kPa:

ra1l [238]

Solution :

Given :

Water have quality x = 0.7 (dryness fraction) at around pressure of 200 kPa

The phase diagram is provided below.

a). The phase is a standard mixture.

b). At pressure, p = 200 kPa, T = $T_{saturated}$

Temperature = 120.21°C

c). Specific volume

$v_{f}= 0.001061, \ \ v_g=0.88578 \ m^3/kg$

$v_x=v_f+x(v_g-v_f)$

$=0.001061+0.7(0.88578-0.001061)$

$=0.62036 \ m^3/kg$

d). Specific energy ( $u_x$ )

$u_f=504.5 \ kJ/kg, \ \ u_{fg}=2024.6 \ kJ/kg$

$u_x=504.5 + 0.7(2024.6)$

$=1921.72 \ kJ/kg$

e). Specific enthalpy $(h_x)$

At $h_f = 504.71, \ \ h_{fg} = 2201.6$

$h_x=504.71+(0.7\times 2201.6)$

$= 2045.83 \ kJ/kg$

f). Enthalpy at m = 0.5 kg

$H=mh_x$

$= 0.5 \times 2045.83$

= 1022.91 kJ

What do you mean by Hard water?

The amount of dissolved calcium and magnesium in the water determines its hardness. Calcium and magnesium are the main dissolved minerals in hard water. The last time you washed your hands, you might have actually felt the effects of hard water.

What do you mean by acid rain?

Any type of precipitation that contains acidic elements, such as sulfuric or nitric acid, that falls to the ground from the atmosphere in wet or dry forms is referred to as acid rain, also known as acid deposition. Rain, snow, fog, hail, and even acidic dust can fall under this category.

Some plants are sensitive to excessive moisture around their root zone, so it may be necessary to increase drainage when growing plants in pots. Additionally, standing water at the bottom of the pot can cause root rot.

Many university agriculture extension agencies have thoroughly debunked the old garden myth that adding rocks to the bottom of a pot will increase drainage.
