Data encountered in solving problems often do not fall exactly on the grid of
values provided by property tables, and linear interpolation between adjacent
table entries becomes necessary. Using the data provided here, estimate
i. the specific volume at T= 240 °Č, p = 1.25 MPa, in m/kg
ii. the temperature at p = 1.5 MPa, v = 0.1555 m/kg, in °C
ii. the specific volume at T = 220 °C, p = 1.4 MPa, in m'/kg
Fluid runs through a drainage pipe with a 10-cm radius and a length of 30m (3000cm). The velocity of the fluid gradually decreases from the center of the pipe toward the edges as a result of friction with the walls of the pipe. For the data shown, v(x) is the velocity of the fluid (in. cm/sec) and x represents the distance (in. cm) from the center of the pipe toward the edge.
