18.7 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 feet.
c) Compute the humidity of the air in the bomb at the final conditions in pounds of
water per pound of air.

Jawab :

a) Asumsikan semua air menguap, kemudian buktikan bahwa asumsi itu benar.
T1= 66 oF + 459,67 = 525,67 oR
T2 = 180 oF + 459,67 = 639,67 oR

Selama P pada steam table = 7,51 psia, semua air akan menguap dan udara tidak
akan jenuh.
