a. hf =Cpf (Tf (oC) – 0oC) = Enthalpy of saturated liquid at Tf
b. hl =Cpl (T1 (oC) – 0oC) = Enthalpy of saturated liquid at T1
0oC
c. Hv = Enthalpy of saturated vapor at T1
<10%
d. s = Latent heat at Ts
a. hf =Cpf (Tf – T1)
Remark:
b. hl =Cpf (T1 – T1) = 0
Cpf = Cpl Boiling Point=T1
c. Hv = Latent heat at T1
=4.14KJ/kg.K
d. s = Latent heat at Ts
a. hf =Cpf (Tf (oC) – 0oC) or from Chart or empirical equation
10% b. hl =Cpl (T1 (oC) – 0oC) or from Chart or empirical equation
0oC c. Hv = Enthalpy of saturated vapor at T1 (BP of water at P1) +
Remark: (1.88 x BPR) = Enthalpy of superheated vapor at actual T1
Cpf  Cpl d. s = Latent heat at Ts
