Figuring Out Heat Transfer & Entropy of Steam at 10 MPa

AI Thread Summary
To determine the entropy change and heat transfer for water transitioning from liquid to steam at 10 MPa, steam tables are essential for obtaining the specific entropy values (sfg) and heat transfer per unit mass. The problem allows for assumptions regarding the initial temperature, which can simplify calculations. The focus should be on the vaporization process, utilizing the properties listed in the steam tables. This approach will yield the necessary values for entropy and heat transfer. Accurate application of steam tables is crucial for solving this thermodynamic problem effectively.

Hello everybody, would somebody please put me on the right track to answering this question?

'Consider water undergoes a heat transfer
at constant pressure of 10 MPa and
changes from liquid to steam. Find the
entropy of the system (sfg) as well as the
heat transfer per unit mass in this
process?'

Is this just looking at steam tables and working per unit mass?

I'd appreciate any help
Thanks

The problem does not specify initial temperature.
If you are free to assume, you could use steam tables per unit mass for the vaporization process only.

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A. I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
