🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between saturation temperature and saturation pressure for water/steam in a boiler • How specific volume of steam changes when pressure goes up at saturation conditions • Difference between superheated steam and saturated steam behavior

💭 Think About

• Imagine looking at a steam table: as the saturation temperature increases, what always happens to the corresponding saturation pressure? • At higher steam pressure (for saturated steam), are the steam molecules more spread out or more compressed, and how does that affect specific volume? • Eliminate any choices that suggest one property changes while the other stays constant under normal saturated boiler operation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Remember that for saturated steam, temperature and pressure are directly linked; they do not vary independently. • Check how specific volume is defined (volume per unit mass) and how compression at higher pressure would change that. • Verify which options are inconsistent with basic steam table trends: higher saturation temperature ↔ higher saturation pressure ↔ specific volume trend.
