I have a stream (10,000 m3/d$10,000$ $m^3/d$) of inert gas and steam. The temperature of the stream is 195C$195$ $^oC$, and the absolute pressure is 1455kPa$1455$ $kPa$.

I am trying to find the amount of steam that can be present in the system. I can assume 100%$100\%$ quality saturated steam.

Would I be correct in approximating the steam fraction to be: P_sat@T$P_{sat@T}$ / P_stream$P_{stream}$

At 195C$195$ $^oC$, the P_sat$P_{sat}$ of steam is 1398kPa$1398$ $kPa$. Therefore the fraction of steam is: 1398/1455 = 96%$1398/1455$ $=$ $96\%$.

I can then find the volume of steam: 0.96*10,000 = 9,600 m3/d$0.96*10,000$ $=$ $9,600$ $m^3/d$.

Is my reasoning correct. Any other ways to calculate thsithis question?

At 195C, the P_sat of steam is 1398kPa. Therefore the fraction of steam is: 1398/1455 = 96%.

I can then find the volume of steam: 0.96*10,000 = 9,600 m3/d.

Calculating the Fraction of Steam in a Mixture
