Problem 26HP
Determine the phase of the substance at the given state using Appendix B tables.
a. Water: 100°C, 500 kPa
b. Ammonia: −10°C, 150 kPa
c. R-410a: 0°C, 350 kPa
ANSWER:
Solution 26HP
Part (a)
Step 1 of 3:
We are going to find the state of water
The temperature T = 100°C
The pressure P = 500 kPa
The saturated temperature and pressure from the table B.11 and B.12 for the corresponding P and T
The saturated temperature Tsat = 151.86°C
The saturated pressure Psat = 101.3 kPa
Tsat > T
Psat < P
The state of water is the compressed liquid state.
Part (b)
