What is a subcooled liquid?

The term subcooling (also called undercooling) refers to a liquid existing at a temperature below its normal boiling point. For example, water boils at 373 K; at room temperature (293 K) the water is termed “subcooled”.

How do you know if a liquid is subcooled?

If water exists as a liquid at the saturation temperature and pressure with a quality of x = 0, it is called a saturated liquid state (single-phase). If the temperature of the liquid is lower than the saturation temperature for the existing pressure, it is called either a subcooled liquid or a compressed liquid.

Is subcooled liquid the same as compressed?

A compressed fluid (also called a compressed or unsaturated liquid, subcooled fluid or liquid) is a fluid under mechanical or thermodynamic conditions that force it to be a liquid.

How do you calculate the enthalpy of a subcooled liquid?

Pick a point in the subcooled region at any temperature and pressure (try 20 F and 60 PSIA). Next, try and find the enthalpy (it is around 20 Btu/lb). You will notice that in order to find the enthalpy of this point, you take a vertical line down to the enthalpy value.

How do you calculate Subcool 410A?

Subtract the lower temperature measured on the liquid line from the saturated temperature and you have subcooling!

1. 105°F Sat Temp – 93°F Actual Line Temp = 12°F of Subcooling.
2. R-410A split system air conditioner.

How compressed liquid turns to a saturated liquid?

Saturated liquid: A liquid that is about to vaporize. At 1 atm and 20°C, water exists in the liquid phase (compressed liquid). At 1 atm pressure and 100°C, water exists as a liquid that is ready to vaporize (saturated liquid).

How do you calculate the enthalpy of liquid water?
