Describe a fiber saturation point and how it is found.
What will be an ideal response?
In a living tree or freshly cut wood (green), moisture is present in the cell fibers as absorbed water and in the cell cavities as free water. As the wood begins to dry, the water in the cell cavities begins to disappear. Once all free water in the cell cavities is gone, the cell fibers making up the cell walls contain any remaining water. This is the fiber saturation point.

An ideal gas with CP = (7/2)R and molecular mass of 28 g/mol enters an adiabatic, steady state valve at T = 500 K and P = 0.5 MPa. The entering and exiting streams both have negligible velocity. What are the temperature and pressure of the exiting stream?
A. T = 500 K, P = 0.1 MPa B. T = 500 K, P cannot be determined from the given information. C. T = 450 K, P = 0.1 MPa D. T = 450 K, P cannot be determined from the given information. E. Neither T nor P can be determined from the given information.
