Amount of water required for 100% saturation of 1 cubic foot volume at 350 F?

Amount of water required for 100% saturation of 1 cubic foot volume at 350 F?

Hi,

Can anyone help me out with this problem? I have a volume of 1 cubic foot. This volume has to be saturated to 100% at 350 F. How much volume of water needs to be added to 1 cubic foot of volume in order to get 100% saturation at 350 F?


Thanks,
Mike

you could look here, perhaps, http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/saturated-steam-properties-d_101.html

How much water is in the volumn to start with?

IRStuff,
How do I convert that data from the steam tables to amount of water I need to add to 1 cubic feet to fully saturate it?

rmw,
The assumption is that there is water in the volume to start with.

Huh?

350°F ~ 177°C, so from the line that contains, oddly enough, 177.7°C, the density is given as 4.9 km/m3. Am I missing something here?

What is in the 1 cubic foot other than water? I presume it is air, but it needs to be stated. It is also necessary to know what the pressure is to be able to solve this problem.

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, anyway.....

Suppose the starting conditions are:
T1 = 68 F
P1 = 14.7 psia

From water properties tables at these conditions the specific volume of water is v1 = 0.0160468 ft^3/lb.

From saturation water line at T2 = 350 F (and P2 = 2381.5 psig) the specific volume becomes v2 =0.0179862 ft^3/lb.

The increase in volume is of v2/v1 = 12.086%

I expect this is a homework problem. This is discouraged.
