Themo:water entropy from mass, volume, temp

AI Thread Summary
To find the entropy of a region with a temperature of 300°C, a specific volume of 2 m³/kg, and a total volume of 500 m³, the mass is calculated as 250 kg using the equation M = V/sv. The discussion highlights the challenge of determining entropy without pressure information to reference steam tables. A suggestion is made to assume constant specific heat between the state where entropy equals zero and the desired state, followed by integration to find the entropy. The conversation emphasizes the need for pressure data to accurately utilize steam tables for entropy calculations.

Homework Statement


Find the entropy (s) of the region
Temperature=300°C
Specific Volume(sv)=2 m^3/kg
Volume(V)=500 m^3


Homework Equations



V/(sv)=M
M=250kg

The Attempt at a Solution



Without the pressure I'm unsure how to look up the entropy from the Steam tables so if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.

thanks

Assume constant specific heat between the state at which S = 0 and your state, then integrate.
