Hey everyone,
I'm a bit confused with the meanings of f, g, and fg subscripts in the thermo steam tables (e.g. hf, hfg, hg). If there is saturated steam, part of the enthalpy is in liquid, hf, part is encapsulated in the vapour, hg, but what is hfg? Also h = hf + (x)hfg. h here is the total enthalpy of the entire system, and hf/hfg are the components?
Another question, is what is the difference between saturated liquid water, and saturated steam?
Some general help would be appreciated.
