1 litre tank water sealed does steam pressure rise linear or exponential?

AI Thread Summary
In a sealed one-liter tank, as water is heated from 50 to 200 degrees Celsius, the steam pressure increase is not linear, particularly above 100 degrees Celsius. The relationship between temperature and pressure in this scenario can be approximated using the ideal gas law, treating steam as an ideal gas. The rate of steam pressure increase depends on the energy added over time and the resulting temperature change. As the temperature rises, the pressure will increase more rapidly, indicating an exponential relationship rather than a linear one. Understanding these principles is crucial before constructing any related apparatus.

hi, if you had a litre container full of water with negligible air and nothing else and heated it at a linear rate from 50 degrees centigrade upto 200 degrees centigrade does the steam pressure rise linearly or exponentially?
the measurements are plucked from the air, its the rate of steam pressure increase above 100 deg c in a sealed tank I am interested in.

i failed science at school and need this confirmed before i build something. thanks

Is the heat input linear, energy added per time, or the temperature rise, degrees centigrade change per time?
 
Worst case estimate, consider the water to be an ideal gas. Adding energy to an ideal gas in a closed, thermally insulated container one can just use the ideal gas law to find the pressure?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
