Answer to Question #309342 in Mechanical Engineering for Jhay

Question

5. Compute for the enthalpy, internal energy, and entropy of steam at 72oC and 93% quality. Please explain the answer?

Answer 1

At pressure = 1.5 MPa

the saturated temperature of the steam is 198.3^oC

Since the operating temperature of the steam is greater than saturation temperature hence steam is in a superheated state.

And from the table of properties of superheated steam 

At P = 1.5 MPa

T = 250^oC

v = 0.152 m³/kg

u = 2695.3 KJ/kg

h = 2923.3 KJ/kg

s = 6.709 KJ/kg- K
