Steam Energy Calculator

Calculate the total energy content of steam — sensible heat, latent heat, and total enthalpy — for any pressure and dryness fraction.

Inputs

Saturation temperature at this pressure: 184 °C.

1.0 = dry saturated, <1 = wet steam.

How It Works

h = hf + x · hfg

hf = sensible heat of the liquid (kJ/kg), hfg = latent heat of vaporisation (kJ/kg), x = dryness fraction. Properties are interpolated from saturated steam tables at the gauge pressure you enter.
