A constant volume bomb contains air at 66ºF and 21,2 psia.

One pound of liquid water is introduced

into the bomb. The bomb is then heated to a constant temperature of 180ºF. After equilibrium is
reached, the pressure in the bomb is 33,0 psia. The vapor pressure of water at 180ºF is 7,51 psia.
a.) Did all of the water evaporate?
b.) Compute the volume of the bomb in cubic ft.
c.) Compute the humidity of the air in the bomb at the final conditions in pounds of water per
pound of air.

a.) T1 = 66°F + 460 = 526 R

T2 = 180°F + 460 = 640 R
Pt = Pudara + PH2O
Pudara = Pt – PH2O
