    This document provides information to solve a thermodynamics problem involving steam passing through a pressure-reducing valve. It gives the temperatures, pressures, and enthalpies at two points for steam initially at 7 bar with 90% dryness fraction. Using steam table properties, it finds the enthalpies are 2725.3 kJ/kg and 561.47 kJ/kg at point 1, and 2763.5 kJ/kg and 697.22 kJ/kg at point 2. This information is used to calculate the dryness fraction downstream of the valve at the lower pressure of 2 bar.
