Problem 2.8:
a) A pressure cooker is filled to the brim with water at 80 °Cand the lid is locked. The temperature is then changed until the contents become saturated liquid. What is the temperature and pressure at that point?
b) A closed pressure cooker contains 50% by volume liquid and 50% water vapor at 1 bar. The temperature (or pressure) is then changed until the point where the contents become a single phase. Is that phase saturated liquid or saturated vapor?
c) A closed rigid vessel that contains a pure fluid is cooled until the contents become saturated vapor. Determine whether the initial state is superheated vapor, compressed liquid, or vapor/liquid.
d) A closed rigid vessel that contains a pure fluid is heated until the contents become saturated liquid. Determine whether the initial state is superheated vapor, compressed liquid, or vapor/liquid.
