Steam at 400c has a specific volume of 0.02m3/kg. determine the pressure of the steam based on a) the ideal gas equation b) the generalized compressibility chart and c) the steam tables.

by ideal gas pressure = 15529.475 kPa

by compressibility chart pressure = 12576 kPa

by steam tables Pressure = 12517 kPa

Explanation:

given data

temperature T = 400°C = 673 K

volume v = 0.02 m³/kg

to find out

pressure by ideal gas, compressibility chart and steam tables

solution

we know here by table

gas constant R is 0.4615 kJ/ kg-K

and critical temp Tc = 647.1 K

and critical pressure Pc = 22064 kPa

so by ideal gas pressure is

pressure = R×T / v

pressure = 0.4615 × 673  / 0.02

pressure = 15529.475 kPa

and

by compressibility chart

temperature reduce is = T/ Tc

temperature reduce Tr = 673 / 647.1

Tr = 1.040 K

so pseudo reduce volume is here

reduce volume Vr = v / ( RTc/Pc)

reduce volume Vr =

0.02 / ( 461.5(647.1) / 22064×10³)

reduce volume = 1.48

and we know by compressibility chart

reduce pressure Pr is 0.57

so

pressure = Pr × Pc

pressure = 0.57 × 22064 ×  10³

pressure = 12576 kPa

and

from steam table

pressure is 12.5 MPa at 673 K and 0.020030 m³/kg

pressure is 15 MPa at 673 K and 0.015671 m³/kg

so

pressure P is

=

so

Pressure = 12517 kPa

an ion is a charged atom or molecule. it is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. an atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom.

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
