Where can I find the specific volume of steam at 179.91 deg Celsius?

Hi,

Here's a quick fix:

At 7b,
v_f = 0.001108 m^3/kg
v_g = 0.2729 m^3/kg

Since the masses of steam and water are given, we can find the total volume of the closed tank to be

V_total = (0.287 * 0.001108) + (0.713 * 0.2729) m^3

= 0.1949 m^3

We know that the volume remains the same after the heat addition process. And things get simplified, when all that's left is steam. You'll just have to look into the pressure states where steam has the specific volume of

v_g = V_total / total mass = 0.1949 / (0.287 + 0.713) = 0.1949 m^3 / kg

which is roughly 10 b, at 179.91 deg Celsius.


Hope this helps. ;)

for your help!

The specific volume of steam at a specific temperature can be found by using steam tables. These tables provide the specific volume of steam at various temperatures and pressures. They can be found in many engineering and thermodynamics textbooks, or can be easily accessed through online resources. In order to find the specific volume at 179.91 deg Celsius, you would need to look for the corresponding value in the steam table at that temperature. It is important to note that the specific volume of steam can vary depending on the pressure, so it is important to also consider the pressure at which the steam is being measured.
