The saturation pressure at Point 4 from Table F.1 is 5.318 kPa. We must
find in Table F.2 the enthalpy (Point 3′) at this pressure and at the
entropy S2. This requires double interpolation. The pressure lies
between entries for pressures of 1 and 10 kPa, and linear interpolation
with P is unsatisfactory. Steam is here very nearly an ideal gas, for
which the entropy is linear in the logarithm of P, and interpolation must
be in accord with this relation. The enthalpy, on the other hand, changes
very little with P and can be interpolated linearly. Linear interpolation
with temperture is satisfactory in either case.
The result of interpolation is
(isentropic compression)
