sounds good, thanks guys!

My saturated steam tables only go up to 705.1°F which I assume is the critical temperature. How would I find the Psat for 1100°F? Also, if I am well above the critical temperature is it not safe to assume that all the water is now evaporated?

Finding the specific volume, I get that 36.77cu.ft./ (5*8.33lb/gal) = 0.8828 which corresponds to a pressure of 1000psia from the superheated steam tables at 1100°F. It seems to me that the pressure should be more around the 7000-10,000 psia range, is this correct?

can this combined law be applied to superheated steam? i didn't think it could since i came up with 76 psia which couldn't be correct

Homework Statement My question has to do with heating water to a superheated state inside a constant volume vessel. Given: A pressure vessel with a total volume of 36.77ft^3, is filled with 5 gal of water and heated from room temp. to a final temp. of 1100°F. Obvisouly the initial pressure...
