Chapter IV - PROPERTIES OF PURE SUBSTANCES

Problem 4.13

A 500-liter tank contains a saturated mixture of steam and water at 300°C.

Determine (a) the mass of each phase if their volumes are equal; (b) the volume
occupied by each phase if their masses are equal.

Given: Tank with.saturated mixture at 300°C.

Find: Mass for equal volumes, and volume for equal masses.

Sketch & Given Data:

(b)
tSO ..(

Assumption: 1) Mixture is in equilibrium.

Analysis: Using Appendix A5 at T = 300°C.

Vc= 0.0014038 m3/kg V8 = 0.021648 m3/kg
(a)
- V, - 0.25m3 = 178.09 k
