How to Calculate and Solve for Volume of Wet and Dry Steam | Enthalpy
Last Updated on April 25, 2022
The volume of wet and dry steam is illustrated by the image above.
To compute for the volume of wet and dry steam, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Dryness Fraction (x), Specific Volume of Dry Steam (ug) and Specific Volume of Water (uf).
The formula for calculating volume of wet and dry steam:
v = xug + (1 – x)uf
Where:
v = Volume of Wet and Dry Steam
x = Dryness Fraction
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam
uf = Specific Volume of Water
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the dryness fraction is 22, the specific volume of dry steam is 12 and the specific volume of water is 8. Find the volume of wet and dry steam?
This implies that;
x = Dryness Fraction = 22
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam = 12
uf = Specific Volume of Water = 8
v = xug + (1 – x)uf
v = 22 x 12 + (1 – 22) x 8
v = 22 x 12 + (-21) x 8
v = 264 + -168
v = 96
Therefore, the volume of wet and dry steam is 96 m3.
