Explanation of Solution
State 1
Refer to Table A-5, “Saturated water-Pressure table”, obtain the value of saturated temperature at a pressure of 200 kPa as
The given temperature in state 1 is less than the saturated temperature at a pressure of 200 kPa.
Hence, state 1 is compressed liquid.
As wee see now there is no data for compressed liquid water in table A-7 for pressure 200 kPa, so calculate the specific internal energy and specific volume of a mixture at a saturated liquid at a temperature of
State 2
Refer to Table A-4, obtain the specific volume at saturated liquid and specific internal energy at saturated liquid at a temperature of
Thus, the state 2 condition is saturated liquid.
State 3
Refer to Table A-6, “Superheater water”, obtain the pressure and specific internal energy at a temperature and specific volume of
The given specific internal energy is greater than the specific internal energy at saturated vapour at a pressure of 200 kPa refer from Table A-5.
Thus, state 3 is a superheated steam.
State 4
Refer to Table A-4, “Saturated water-Pressure table”, obtain the specific volume and specific internal energy at saturated liquid
As we see now the given specific volume of the mixture
Hence, the state 4 is known as saturated mixture.
Refer to Table A-4, “Satuated water-pressure table”, obtain the temperature at a pressure of 200 kPa as
Calculate the quality at state 1.
Substitute
Calculate the specific internal state.
Here, specific internal energy at saturated liquid and saturated vapour is
Substitute
State 5
Since
Thus, the state 5 is superheated steam.
Convert the unit of pressure from kPa to MPa.
Refer to Table A-6, “Superheated water”, obtain the temperature and specific volume at a pressure of 0.50 MPa and specific intenal energy of 3084 kJ/kg as
From the above calculations and referred from the steam table, complete the table of
P, kPa | u, kJ/kg | x, quality | Phase description | ||
