A large tank is divided into two equal volumes. One half of the tank is filled with saturated water of unknown quality at temperature = 320 °F. The other half of the tank is evacuated (i.e there is nothing in it). When the partition separating the two halves breaks, the water will expand to fill the entire tank. The temperature is unchanged, and the final pressure is given below. Determine the quality of the water before the partition broke. Water isothermal jacket P=0 m=0 Pfinal = 80-psia

A bicycle tire with a volume of 0.00212 m3is filled to its recommended absolute pressure of 495 kPa on a coldwinter day when the tire’s temperature is −15 °C. The cyclist thenbrings his bicycle into a hot laundry room at 32 °C.

Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. Now equal volume of water and light oil (ρ=790 kg/m3) are poured from different arms. A person blows from the oil side of the U-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the U-tube, and thus the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. If the fluid height in each arm is 102 cm, determine the gage pressure the person exerts on the oil by blowing.
