Determine the percent of flash steam


When the pressure on saturated liquid water is suddenly reduced to a lower pressure in an adiabatic and aergonic process, the liquid's temperature must also be reduced to reach a new equilibrium state. Consequently, part of the initial liquid is very quickly converted into a saturated vapor at the lower pressure, and the resulting heat of vaporization cools the remaining liquid to the proper temperature. Vapor formed in this manner is called flash steam, because the liquid appears to "flash" into a vapor as the pressure is reduced. Determine the final temperature and the percent of flash steam produced as a closed system containing saturated liquid water suddenly bursts and the pressure drops from 1.00 to 0.100 MPa in an adiabatic and aergonic process.

Helpful Hint: The answer is X2 = 16.5%
