Question:

Consider steam at the following state near the saturation line: (p1, T1) = (1.31 MPa, 290°C). Calculate and compare, for an ideal gas (Table A.4) and the Steam Tables (or the EES software), (a) the density ρ1; and (b) the density ρ2 if the steam expands isentropically to a new pressure of 414 kPa. Discuss your results.
