where:
h – enthalpy, kJ/kg, Btu/lb
p – pressure, kPaa, psia
v – specific volume, m³/kg, ft³/lb
For an open system, enthalpy means the sum of internal energy and the flow energy or
flow work, and given by the relation:
where:
H – total enthalpy, kJ, kW, Btu, Btu/min
U - total internal energy, kJ, kW, Btu, Btu/min
- flow energy or flow work, kJ, kW, Btu, Btu/min
2. Entropy
is a thermodynamic property first introduced by Clausius in 1865 and could be
defined as follows:
Entropy is the measure of the microscopic disorder of the molecules of a substance
It is a thermodynamic property that remains constant in an adiabatic reversible process
The change of entropy in an irreversible process is the measure of the unavailable energy
Entropy is also defined as the measure of the irreversibility of the system or substance
The change of entropy for a reversible process is given by the following relation:
where:
∆s – change of entropy, kJ/kg-K, Btu/lb-°R
- initial entropy, kJ/kg-K, Btu/lb-°R
- final entropy, kJ/kg-K, Btu/lb-°R
Q – heat transfer during the process, kJ, Btu
T – absolute temperature, K, °R

Note: Values of properties for water are to be obtained directly from steam tables except for .
Quality of vapor may also be obtained in terms of properties as indicated in the following
relations:
If quality x is computed,

TABLES
Steam tables are tabulations of the values properties of water for different conditions
To obtain the properties of water, the following tables are to be used:
Table 1. Saturation: Temperatures
If the given property is temperature, use this table to determine the values of properties
Table 2. Saturation: Pressures
If the given property is pressure, use this table to determine the values of properties.
Table 3. Vapor
Use this table to determine the properties of superheated steam. With the given properties are
obtained
Table 4. Liquid
Use this table to determine the properties of subcooled and compressed liquid. With the given
properties are obtained
Table 5. Critical Region
Use this table if the given conditions are in critical region.
