Two soils are fully saturated with liquid (no gas present) and the soils have the same void ratio. One soil is saturated with water and the other is saturated with alcohol. The unit weight of water is approximately 1g/cm3 while that of alcohol is about 0.8 g/cm3. Which soil sample has the larger water content? Why?

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater
