A vessel contains steam at a pressure of 0.4 MPa and a dryness of 0.87. The contents of the vessel are heated. Assuming the dimensions of the vessel remain constant, determine: a) The pressure at which the steam becomes "dry-saturated", i.e is in the saturated vapour phase b) The temperature in cases a) c) The temperature of the steam when the pressure reaches 0.6 MPa

Q8
A vessel contains steam at a pressure of 0.4 MPa and a dryness of 0.87. The contents of the
vessel are heated. Assuming the dimensions of the vessel remain constant, determine:
a) The pressure at which the steam becomes "dry-saturated", i.e is in the saturated
vapour phase
b) The temperature in cases a)
c) The temperature of the steam when the pressure reaches 0.6 MPa
[0.465 MPa, 148.9 °C, 259.9 °C]
