In many civil engineering calculations, water and other liquids are assumed to be incompressible. do you think this assumption is reasonable?

a. report the bulk modulus of water and seawater at 60°f.
b. use the definition of the bulk modulus to determine the amount of pressure in psi needed to change the density of freshwater and seawater by 5%. which one is more easily compressed?
c. compare the results from part b with values for standard atmospheric pressure and for the pressure at the bottom of the mariana trench (15,750 psi). under what conditions does the incompressible assumption fail?

A2-m rigid tank initially contains saturated water vapor at 100 kpa. the tank is connected to a supply line through a valve. steam is flowing in the supply line at 600 kpa and 300 c. the valve is opened, and steam is allowed to enter the tank until the pressure in the tank reaches the line pressure, at which point the valve is closed. a thermometer placed in the tank indicates that the temperature at the final state is 200°c. determine (a) the mass of steam that has entered the tank (b) the amount of heat transfer.
