Why is the superheated vapor from the condenser is higher than the superheated vapor going into the compressor?

becaause it was just compressed by the compressor and is the high side of the system before the tex valve


What is sub cooled vapor?

Subcooled vapor refers to a vapor that is at a temperature lower than its saturation temperature at a given pressure. In other words, it is a vapor that is in a superheated state but exists at a temperature below its boiling point at the current pressure. Subcooled vapor is not in equilibrium with its liquid state and is considered to be in a superheated state.


What is the refrigerant entering the metering or expansion device of a refrigeration system?

superheated vapor


What is a direct expansion evaporator?

Refrigerant enters a direct expansion evaporator as a saturated liquid vapor mix and leaves as a superheated vapor.


What are the kinds of water vapor?

there are two types of water vapor it is a evaporation and condensation


Where in the world is the highest percentage of water vapor?

In the natural environment, probably in geysers which, because of their pressure, contain superheated steam.


What happens to a saturated vapor when heat is added?

When heat is added to a saturated vapor, its temperature will increase and the vapor will start to undergo phase change into a superheated vapor. This means that the vapor will contain more thermal energy than at saturation conditions, which leads to a rise in temperature without a change in pressure.


What happens to a refrigerant when it is above the saturation temperature?

When a refrigerant is above its saturation temperature, it is in the superheated state. This means that it has taken on additional heat energy beyond what is needed for boiling at its current pressure. In this state, the refrigerant is a gas and can continue to absorb more heat without converting to a liquid.


Properties of superheated vapor R134a?

for English units, see this table http://energy.sdsu.edu/testcenter/testhome/Test/solve/basics/tables/tablesPC/superR134a-Eng.html (click on SI once there for SI units if needed). If you need higher pressure than 400psia or 16MPa, you will need the R143a superheated vapor chart, which I can't find online. You can find tables and charts in various thermodynamics textbooks. For example, Tables in "fundamentals of engineering thermodynamics" by Moran and Shapiro; or the chart by "SUVA/DuPont" is in the appendix of the "mechanical engineering reference manual" by Lindeburg.


What is difference between saturated vapor and superheated vapor?

A metal clad heating element 8 mm in diameter and emissivity ɛ = 0.95 is horizontally submerged in a water bath. The surface temperature of the metal is maintained at 250°C under steady state conditions. Estimate the power dissipation per unit length of the heater. Assume the water is exposed to atmospheric pressure and is at a uniform temperature.


Is superheated steam suitable for air heaters instead of saturated steam?

No, superheated steam gives off little energy. Most of the heat given off by steam is the latent heat of condensation as it undergoes a phase change from vapor to liquid. Superheated steam could first be "desuperheated" by adding water until it reaches the saturation point, then used for heat transfer processes.


What is the definition of geothermal springs?

Geothermal Springs are produced by superheated groundwater pushed to the surface by extreme heat from the Earth's Core. Hope it helps =-D
