Steam is at 18.5 bar and 432 0c, with reasons state the conditions of the steam anddetermine the specific volume and enthalpy of the steam

The conditions of the steam can be determined by referring to the steam tables.

Step 1: Identify the state of the steam The given pressure is 18.5 bar and the temperature is 432°C. This temperature is above the saturation temperature at this pressure (which is around 204°C), so the steam is in the superheated state.

Step 2: Determine the specific volume and enthalpy To find the specific volume (v) and enthalpy (h), we need to refer to the superheated steam tables.

Unfortunately, without the exact tables, I can't provide the specific values. However, the process would be to find the table for the given pressure, then go down that table to the given temperature. The corresponding values in the table would be the specific volume and enthalpy.

Remember, the specific volume will be in m^3/kg and enthalpy will be in kJ/kg.

Please refer to the superheated steam tables for the exact values.
