Determine the degrees of superheat of steam at 101.325 kPa and 170°C. a. 50°C b. 70°C c. 60°C d. 80°C

b) 70°C

Explanation:

Given that super heat temperature at 101.325 KPa = 170°C.

We know that saturation temperature at 101.325 KPa is 100°C.

So

Degree of super heat = Super heat temperature - saturation temperature (at constant pressure)

Now by putting the values

Degree of super heat=170-100

Degree of super heat=70°C.

So our option b is right.
