    Pressure and Temperature Relation To Saturated Steam: What Is Saturation?

    Uploaded by

    Mark Angelo Uy
    Saturation occurs when a liquid and its vapor can coexist in equilibrium at a given temperature and pressure. The saturation temperature is the temperature at which a liquid begins to boil, and is directly proportional to pressure - it increases with increasing pressure. The saturation pressure is the pressure required for a liquid to boil at a given saturation temperature. As saturation pressure increases, saturation temperature also increases. Saturated liquids are at the boiling point corresponding to the existing pressure, while saturated vapor results when liquid is heated to its boiling point and vaporized with additional heat. The pressure-temperature relationship of saturated steam is important and defined by the ideal gas law.

    Pressure and Temperature relation to Saturated Steam

    What is Saturation?
    - The term saturation defines a condition in which mixture of vapor and liquid can exist together at a given
    temperature and pressure. The temperature at which vaporization (boiling) start to occur for a given
    pressure is called the saturation temperature or boiling point. The pressure at which vaporization (boiling)
    starts to occur for a given temperature is called the saturation pressure.

    Saturation temperature
    - Saturation temperature is the temperature at which liquid start to boil or the temperature
    at which vapors begin to condense. The saturation temperature of a given substance
    depends upon its existing pressure. It is directly proportional to the pressure, i.e ., it
    increases as the pressure is increased and decreases as the pressure is decreased.

    Saturation pressure 
    - is the pressure for a corresponding saturation temperature at which a liquid boils into its
    vapor phase. Saturation pressure and saturation temperature have a direct relationship: as
    saturation pressure is increased, so is saturation temperature.

    Saturated liquid
    - A saturated liquid is a liquid at the saturations which has temperature equal to the boiling
    point corresponding to the existing pressure.
    Saturated vapor
    - Results when water is heated to the boiling point (sensible heating) and then vaporized
    with additional heat (latent heating).

    - Steam is pressure-temperature dependent, therefore the system temperature can be


    controlled by varying either steam pressure or temperature.

    Properties of steam

    Subscript Used:
    f – represents properties of liquid.
    g – represents properties of saturated vapor.
    fg – represents to a change by evaporation
    h = enthalpy
    S = entrophy

    Steam quality
     The Quality of wet vapor or wet steam is the percent by weight that is saturated vapor.
     If the steam quality is at 100 % , it means that the steam is saturated vapor while If the
    steam quality is < 100 % it is saturated gas.
