Volume Change

[ktulu]

Can anybody help me with this?

Approximately how much is the volume increase when a liquid (say water) becomes steam? Is there a range of values?

Thanks in advance..

You need more constraints. If I recall correctly the steam tables are based on temperature and pressure. with no pressure you can't define the volume of the gas (steam).

The NCEES FERM has basic steam tables in it.

Thanks guys. Found what I needed...

If i was using it for an estimate, i would use 1600 times the volume. But, that would assume no volume constraints, total conversion, no reflux,etc... hope that helps.
