Which of the following identities can be most easily used to verify steam table data for superheated steam ?

Correct answer: D. (∂V/∂T)P = -(∂S/∂P)T

  • A. (∂T/∂V)S = (∂p/∂S)V
  • B. (∂T/∂P)S = (∂V/∂S)P
  • C. (∂P/∂T)V = (∂S/∂V)T
  • D. (∂V/∂T)P = -(∂S/∂P)T

Explanation

The Maxwell relation from dG = VdP − SdT is (∂V/∂T)P = −(∂S/∂P)T. This relation provides a consistency check for tabulated superheated-steam properties.
