Question:

Specific heat of saturated steam is:

Show Hint

During phase transitions, the temperature remains constant, so the specific heat of saturated steam is zero.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

For saturated steam, any heat added at constant pressure results in a phase change rather than a temperature increase. The definition of specific heat is:
\[ C_P = \left( \frac{dQ}{dT} \right)_P \] Since temperature does not change during phase transition:
\[ C_P = 0 \] Thus, the correct answer is:
