Question
**Heating Process of Saturated Steam**

**Scenario:**
Saturated steam at 100°C is heated to 500.0°C.

**Objective:**
Use the steam tables to determine the required heat input (MW) if a continuous stream flowing at 250.0 kg/s undergoes the process at constant pressure.

**Calculations:**
1. **Formula:**
   \[
   Q = \dot{m} \cdot (h_2 - h_1)
   \]
   
2. **Substitute the given values:**
   \[
   Q = 250.0 \, \text{kg/s} \times (3488 \, \text{kJ/kg} - 2676 \, \text{kJ/kg})
   \]

3. **Calculate the energy:**
   \[
   Q = 203000 \, \text{kJ/s}
   \]

4. **Convert to Joules per second:**
   \[
   Q = 2.03 \times 10^8 \, \text{J/s}
   \]

5. **Convert to Megawatts (MW):**
   \[
   Q = 203 \, \text{MW} \, \checkmark
   \]

---

**Additional Analysis:**
Use the steam tables to determine the required heat input (MJ) if 250.0 kg undergoes the process at constant volume.

**Formula:**
\[
Q = \, \text{___ MJ}
\] 

(Where further details are required to complete this calculation using steam tables.)
