Find the saturation temperature, the change in specific volume and entropy during evaporation and the latent heat of
vaporization of steam at 1 MPa.

saturated steam has an entropy of 6.76 kJ/kg.K. What are its pressure, temperature, specific volume and enthalpy?

Find the enthalpy and entropy of steam when the pressure is 2 MPa and the specific volume is 0.09 m3/kg.
Find the enthalpy, entropy and volume of steam at 1.4 MPa.

Determine the quality of steam at a pressure of 16 bar, if it contains 2500 kJ/kg of heat.
Determine the dryness fraction of steam weighing 4.7 kg if the total heat of sample is 11000 kJ. The steam pressure
is 5 bar.

Find the total heat of superheated steam at a pressure of 15 bar and temperature 250oC, if specific heat of
superheated steam is 2.5 kJ/kg K. Find the heat required to raise 3 kg of this steam from steam at 3.5 bar and
dryness fraction 0.88.

in kJ. The steam is 0.85 dry at the commencement of compression.
Steam at a pressure of 7 bar and dryness fraction 0.8 is throttled to a pressure of 4 bar absolute. Find the final
condition of steam using Mollier diagram.

Steam at a pressure of 8.5 bar and dryness fraction 0.98 is subjected to throttling expansion to 1 bar. Find the final
temperature of steam using Mollier diagram. Assume CP for superheated steam to be 2.2 kJ/kg K.
Steam at a pressure of 8.5 bar and 200oC is throttled to 3 bar and then expanded adiabatically to 0.5 bar. Find out
the change in entropy and enthalpy during these two processes. Use Mollier diagram.
