How do you use steam tables?

The steam tables have 16 columns as follows:

pressure (absolute), temperature, specific volume of vapor, specific volume of liquid, heat of the liquid, heat of vaporization, total heat of the vapor, entropy of the liquid, entropy of vaporization, entropy of the vapor, internal heat of the liquid, internal heat of vaporization, and internal heat of the vapor (occasionally the external heat of the liquid, vaporization and vapor are included)

If the temperature and pressure of steam are known then cross referencing the heat or the volume of a known quantity of the steam can be done.

the heat content(enthalpy) of the liquid or vapor can be extrapolated from the chart, as can the entropy and internal energy. The enthalpy less the internal energy = the external energy (or the actual energy required to expand the liquid to a vapor)

By determining the starting heat content of steam and final or exhaust heat content of steam the efficiency of a steam engine can be determined. Along with these calculations are the determinations of heat losses, steam quality, loss to entropy,...etc. all calculated using various instruments and the steam tables.

What are the Ohio steam tables and how are they used in engineering applications?

The Ohio steam tables are a set of reference tables that provide data on the properties of water and steam at various temperatures and pressures. Engineers use these tables to analyze and design systems that involve the use of steam, such as power plants, HVAC systems, and industrial processes. By referencing the Ohio steam tables, engineers can determine important properties like temperature, pressure, specific volume, and enthalpy of steam, which are crucial for designing efficient and effective steam-based systems.

What is the difference between a hot steam table and a hot food table electric or propane used in restaurants?

The purpose of a steam table is to heat food with steam. That is to say specifically from steam. Other types of hot tables will make use of water to keep food hot. The difference is that in a steam table the pans of food are not actually sitting in the water and can reach a higher temperature because steam gets hotter than water. Most tables employ the use of water heating the food directly, which will keep the temperature below 212F and heat the food more evenly. Both types of table can be either electric or propane fueled.


How does steam tables found?

The experimental data in steam tables have been measured in laboratories with precision instruments. They have been verified many times throughout the years and are therefore very reliable. A very simple experience is used to build a steam table. In a closed device, in which a specific flow of water circulates, a known electric current is introduced. From this current, we can infer the exact amount of heat added and we simply record the pressure and temperature at which the system stabilizes. See the 'Origin of steam tables' related link below for a diagram of this experimental setup.


What are Steam tables used for?

To be general, steam tables are used to determine the properties of fluid. Mostly used on engine, refrigerator and heat pump. It shows the pressure and temperature require for a fluid to reach a certain amount of energy level.


What is the Temp of 30 psi steam?

30 PSIG is about equal to 45 PSIA. Saturation temperature from the steam tables at 45 PSIA is about 274°F. So the steam would be 274°F, or hotter if superheated.
