The volume of superheated steam is illustrated in the image above. To calculate the volume of superheated steam, three essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are Specific Volume of Dry Steam (ug), Superheated Temprature (tsup) and Saturated Temprature (ts).
The formula for calculating the volume of superheated steam:
vsup = ugTsup / Ts
Where:
vsup = Volume of Superheated Steam
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam
Tsup = Superheated Temprature
Ts = Saturated Temprature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume of superheated steam when the specific volume of dry steam is 32, the superheated temperature is 24 and the saturated temperature is 14.
This implies that;
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam = 32
Tsup = Superheated Temprature = 24
Ts = Saturated Temprature = 14
vsup = ugTsup / Ts
So, vsup = 32 x 24Â /Â 14
vsup = 768 / 14
vsup = 54.85
Therefore, the volume of superheated steam is 54.85 m3.
Calculating the Specific Volume of Dry Steam when the Volume of Superheated Steam, the Superheated Temperature and the Saturated Temperature are Given
ug = vsup x Ts / Tsup
Where:
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam
vsup = Volume of Superheated Steam
Tsup = Superheated Temprature
Ts = Saturated Temprature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the specific volume of dry steam when the volume of superheated steam is 10, the superheated temperature is 4 and the saturated temperature is 8.
This implies that;

vsup = Volume of Superheated Steam = 10
Tsup = Superheated Temprature = 4
Ts = Saturated Temprature = 8
ug = vsup x Ts / Tsup
Then, ug = 10 x 8 / 4
ug = 80 / 4
ug = 20
Therefore, the specific volume of dry steam is 20 m3.

Calculating the Superheated Temperature when the Volume of Superheated Steam, the Specific Volume of Dry Steam and the Saturated Temperature are Given
Tsup = vsup x Ts / ug
Where:
Tsup = Superheated Temprature
vsup = Volume of Superheated Steam
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam
Ts = Saturated Temprature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the superheated temperature when the volume of superheated steam is 24, the specific volume of dry steam is 10 and the saturated temperature is 6.
This implies that;
vsup = Volume of Superheated Steam = 24
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam = 10
Ts = Saturated Temprature = 6
Tsup = vsup x Ts / ug
So, Tsup = 24 x 6 / 10
Tsup = 114 / 10
Tsup = 11.4
Therefore, the superheated temperature is 11.4 m3.
Calculating the Saturated Temperature when the Volume of Superheated Steam, the Specific Volume of Dry Steam and the Superheated Temperature are Given
Ts = ug x Tsup / vsup
Where:
Ts = Saturated Temprature
vsup = Volume of Superheated Steam
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam
Tsup = Superheated Temprature
Let’s solve an example;
Find the saturated temperature when the volume of superheated steam is 12, the specific volume of dry steam is 10 and the superheated temperature is 6.
This implies that;
vsup = Volume of Superheated Steam = 12
ug = Specific Volume of Dry Steam = 10
Tsup = Superheated Temprature = 6
Ts = ug x Tsup / vsup
So, Ts = 10 x 6 / 12
Ts = 60 / 12
Ts = 5
Therefore, the saturated temperature is 5 m3.
