DESCRIPTION
Cussons P5700 Marcet Boiler has been developed for
investigating the relationship between the pressure and tem-
perature of saturated steam, in equilibrium with water, at all
pressures between atmospheric and 17 bar (250 lb/in²). The
measured value of the slope of the graph (dT/dP) SAT
obtained from the practical results can be compared with
corresponding values calculated from the data in steam
tables.
Clausius (1822-88) the German Physicist and one of the
founders of Thermodynamics was instrumental in deriving the
relevant Clausius-Clapeyron relationship:
(dT) Tv
= fg
(dP)SAT hfg
where the quantities of vfg and hfg are obtained from the
steam tables; Fig. 1 below shows a typical Pressure
Temperature Curve.
