Answer and Explanation:

considering a rigid system

fixed volume V = C

water at P1=22bar and T1=375ºC

at 22 bar Tsat = 217.2ºC

so ...

T1>Tsat

thus

Steam is superheated (phase at this condition)

Specific Volume, V1

V1 = Vg * [ Tsup/Tsat]

V1 = 0.090663 * ((375+273) / (217.2+273))

V1 = 0.1198 m³/kg (specific volume under this condition)

V=C, T2=195ºC

from Mollier Diagram we have that ...

P2 = 6bar (quality and enthalpy)

h2 = 2840 KJ/kg

Superheated Steam
