Figuring Out Heat Transfer & Entropy of Steam at 10 MPa

Click For 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.

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
