Answer to Question #308003 in Mechanical Engineering for Bimby

Question

Steam at a pressure of 3.5 MPa is known to have a specific volume of 50X10^-3 m³/kg. What is its specific enthalpy?

Answer 1

Specific Enthalpy is the total energy in a system due to pressure and temperature per unit of mass in that system. Specific enthalpy is used in thermodynamic equations when one wants to know the energy for a given single unit mass of a substance. The SI units for specific enthalpy are kJ/kg
