Answer:
a)[tex]v=25.56\ kg/m^3[/tex]
b) [tex]v=38.8\ kg/m^3[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that
Pressure P = 15 MPa
Temperature = 1000 C = 1273 K
a)If assume as ideal gas
The gas constant for super heated steam R is 0.461 KJ/kg.K.
We know that ideal gas equation
P v =RT
15 x 1000 x v =0.461 x 1273
[tex]v=25.56\ kg/m^3[/tex]
b) By using steam table
From steam table we can see that volume of super heated vapot at 15 MPa and 1273 K .
[tex]v=38.8\ kg/m^3[/tex]
