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 '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...
