Table 1: Variation of pressure with temperature of water at saturation
The values of temperature and pressure for water at saturation are presented in Table 1.
a) Plot y = f(x), label the axes, and represent the plot as discrete points.
b) Use Curve Fitting to relate the discrete points with a curve.
c) Find the Pressure at T = 90°C.
d) Plot y = f(x) and use Curve Fitting to find the pressure at T = 90°C.
