Question

An air water mixture is contained in a rigid, closed vessel with a volume of 35 m3 at 1.985 bar, 120°C and ϕ=10%. The mixture is cooled at constant volume until its temperature is reduced to 22°C. What is the specific volume of vapour when condensation just begins to occur?

Solution

The correct option is B 9.145 m3/kg

ϕ=Pv1Ps1

Pv1=ϕPs1

= 0.10 × 1.985 = 0.1985 bar

The specific volume of the vapour at state 1 equals the specific volume of the vapour at state 1 since this is a constant volume process.

v1=(¯R/Mo)T1Pv1

=(831418)×3930.1985×105=9.145 m3/kg
