The document provides instructions on how to use steam tables to identify the state of steam (subcooled, wet vapor, saturated, or superheated) based on temperature and pressure. It includes examples of calculations using various tables for saturation temperatures, pressures, and enthalpy values. Additionally, it explains interpolation and double interpolation methods for determining values not explicitly listed in the tables.

How to use Steam Table?

Table 1. Saturation: Temperatures [pp.2-7]


Table 2. Saturation: Pressures [pp.8-13]
**NOTE: Table 1 and Table 2 show the values
corresponding to Saturated Liquid Line – Wet
Vapor – Saturated Vapor Line (2 – 4)

Table 3. Vapor [pp.14-103]


**NOTE: Table 3 shows the values of
superheated vapor

Table 4. Liquid [pp.104-107]


**NOTE: You can use Table 4 for subcooled
liquid.
EXAMPLE:
Identify whether the steam is subcooled, wet
vapor, saturated, or superheated.
1. T = 200°C; P = 1.44 MPa
2. T = 220°C; P = 2.318 MPa
3. P = 4 MPa; s = 5.897 kJ/kgm-K

Solution:
1. T = 200°C; P = 1.44 MPa
Let’s start to look at Table 1:
@T = 200°C, the pressure is 1.5538 MPa (ekis)
Let’s try to look at Table 2:
@P = 1.44 MPa, the temperature is 196.39°C
(ekis)

By observation:
The given temperature (200°C) is higher than
the saturation temperature at 1.44 MPa
(196.39°C), therefore the steam is
superheated.

2. T = 220°C; P = 2.318 MPa


Let’s apply it to Table 1;
@T = 220°C, the pressure is 2.318 MPa.

Since the pressure 2.318 MPa matches with


the saturation pressure (using Steam Table)
at 220°C, therefore, the steam is saturated.
3. P = 4 MPa; s = 5.897 kJ/kgm-K
Let’s start with Table 2.
@P = 4 MPa
sf = 2.7964 kJ/kgm-K
sg = 6.0701 kJ/kgm-K

Since the given s = 5.897 kJ/kgm-K is known


to be within the boundary of sf and sg, thus,
the steam is wet.
