| Symbol | Property | Unit (Typical) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Saturation Temperature | °C | | p | Saturation Pressure | bar or kPa | | hf | Specific Enthalpy of Saturated Liquid | kJ/kg | | hfg | Latent Heat of Vaporization | kJ/kg | | hg | Specific Enthalpy of Saturated Vapor | kJ/kg | | sf | Specific Entropy of Saturated Liquid | kJ/kg·K | | sg | Specific Entropy of Saturated Vapor | kJ/kg·K | | vf | Specific Volume of Saturated Liquid | m³/kg | | vg | Specific Volume of Saturated Vapor | m³/kg |

| Mistake | Consequence | Solution | |---------|-------------|----------| | Using h_fg instead of h_f for feedwater heating | Overestimation of heat addition | Remember: h_f is saturated liquid, h_fg is latent heat. | | Forgetting to convert bar to kPa (or vice versa) | Orders of magnitude error | Keep units consistent. Khurmi often uses bar; 1 bar = 100 kPa. | | Assuming h_g is the same for superheated steam | Wrong enthalpy at high temp | Use superheat table, not saturation table. | | Misreading v_g as volume of liquid | Absurd volume calculations | v_g is vapor volume (large), v_f is liquid volume (small). | steam tables by rs khurmi -2-.pdf 1
