Boiler Feed Water Enthalpy Calculator
Creating a comprehensive table for boiler feed water enthalpy involves understanding various parameters that affect enthalpy, such as temperature, pressure, and phase (liquid or vapor). Below is a general overview of key concepts and a sample table containing enthalpy values for water at different temperatures and pressures.
Key Concepts
- Enthalpy (h): A measure of the total energy of a thermodynamic system, often expressed in kJ/kg.
- Specific Enthalpy: The enthalpy per unit mass of a substance, typically expressed in kJ/kg.
- Saturated Liquid and Vapor: The state of water at which it is about to change from liquid to vapor (saturation temperature) at a specific pressure.
- Subcooling: Liquid water at temperatures below the saturation temperature for a given pressure.
- Superheating: Vapor water at temperatures above the saturation temperature for a given pressure.

Notes
- Pressure: The table includes values for varying pressures (in MPa) to indicate the effect on enthalpy.
- State: Indicates whether the water is in a liquid or vapor state, as enthalpy values will vary accordingly.
- Specific Enthalpy Values: These are based on standard values and may vary slightly depending on the source.
