Using the steam tables, determine the enthalpy change for 1lb of water:

Condensing a saturated vapor at 212 Fahrenheit and 1 atm abs.

Respuesta :

Answer:

change in enthalpy for 1 lb water is - 970.10872 Btu

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of water 1 lb

pressure 1 atm

temperature 212 Fahrenheit

From steam table

initial enthalpy [tex]h_1 = 1150.288 Btu/lb[/tex]

final enthalpy[tex] h_2 = 180.18 Btu/lb[/tex]

change in enthalpy is given as

[tex]\Delta h = m (h_2 -h_1)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta h = 1\times (  180.18020 - 1150.288)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta h = - 970.10872 Btu[/tex]

change in enthalpy for 1 lb water is - 970.10872 Btu
