when pressure on the suction side of the pump drop below the vapour pressure of the liquid, vapour forms. It's caused because of insufficient suction head, high suction lift, excessive friction head, or high liquid temperature.

How do binding machines work on a daily basis?

Binding machines have made the jobs and lives of those in the publishing industry vastly easier. They work by taking submitted manuscripts and sealing the pages together with a sealant and hardcover or paperback binding.

What is the function of wire binding machines?

Wire binding machines are commonly found in professional office settings. The machines punch holes in stacks of paper, and then binds the paper together using wire. They are used to quickly and easily bind presentations in a professional manner.


Define specific volume of wet steam?

If the pressure of a wet vapour is ≤ 2000 kPa and the dryness fraction is ≥ 0.9, then (if you wish) you may use: Vx=XVg ; where Vx is the specific volume you are solving for, X is dryness fraction and Vg is the specific volume of the saturated vapour at the given state (pressure, temp, etc).Otherwise use: Vx = (1 - X)Vf + XVg ; and in this case Vf being the specific volume of the saturated liquid at the given state.The specific volume of wet steam is quite simply, the volume per given mass of the vapour at the given dryness fraction (or steam quality). In the case of wet steam it is solved for by a function of the relationship between the percentage saturated liquid, and the percentage saturated vapour in terms of specific volumes for the two obtained from a data chart.
