The throttling process, occurring at constant enthalpy, may be split into two
steps:
(1) Transform into an ideal gas at the initial conditions, evaluating property
changes from a generalized correlation.
(2) Change T and P in the ideal-gas state to the
final conditions, evaluating property changes by equations for an ideal gas.
Property changes for the two steps sum to the property change for the
process. For the initial conditions:

One can work this problem very simply and almost correctly by ignoring the
vapor present. By first equation of problem 3-15
Note that just to store 1333.3 kg of saturated vapor at 1000 kPa would
require a volume of:
