Volume of Steam Produced
(OP)
What would be the volume of steam produced from 1.49X10^7kJ of energy? How would I go about finding this?

RE: Volume of Steam Produced
PS What is a steam volume for ?
RE: Volume of Steam Produced
For each degree you will need 1 cal or 4.18 J to increase of 1 degree C/1 g of water (at atmospheric pressure).
The volume of steam will depend of the final temprature and pressure of your system: V = nRT/P more pressure less volume and as the temperarure increase your volume of steam will increase.
With the data you give, my first estimation will be to evaluate the steam generate at 100 degre C and atmospheric pressure from water at the saturation point. So by taking the heat of vaporization, (2257 kj/kg) we can have 6600 kg of water. By using PV=nRT we can find the volume of steam. This will be the maximum of steam at atmospheric pressure.
