AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a thermodynamics homework question involving a piston-cylinder containing a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 150°C. The problem requires determining the heat needed to convert the mixture into saturated vapor while maintaining constant pressure. Participants emphasize the importance of showing effort in problem-solving before seeking help, highlighting that volunteers are more inclined to assist those who demonstrate initiative. The use of thermodynamic tables A-4 and A-5, along with the equation for enthalpy, is suggested as essential for solving the problem. Overall, the conversation stresses the need for respect and effort in academic inquiries.

[help] thermodynamics question!

Homework Statement



Initially, a piston-cylinder has a volume of 120L and contains a saturated
liquid-vapour mixture of water at 150°C, in which 86% of the water is in the
liquid phase. The water is heated at constant pressure until it is saturated
vapour. Determine the heat required for this process. Also show the
process in a T-v diagram.

Homework Equations



1. i think the table A-4 and A-5 is required
2. h=hf + x hfg ??

The Attempt at a Solution



dont know how to start.

What have you tried? The rules in this forum state that you must show some effort before the moderators help you out.
 


I think you are missing two important facts.

One is that people here volunteer their time to help. Complaining that they aren't working hard enough or fast enough to suit you isn't likely to make anyone more likely to help you. Who wants to help an ingrate with a sense of entitlement?

The second is that we insist that people who ask questions make an attempt at solving them.
