Well, I have to show mathematically that T remains unchanged in phase change. I know it comes from sperimental evidences, but my professor asked to show it with "numbers". So I thought to go like this:
[tex](dH_l)/dt ≈ (dm)/dt) h_v + Q [/tex]
Energy balance for system (let's say it is liquid and changes into vapor). h_v is the entalpy flow-rate leaving the system (liquid) so it's the entalpy of the vapor. Q is the heat.
(dm)/(dt) is the mass (of vapor) leaving the system. In fact (mass balance) [tex](dm)/(dt) = - m_o [/tex] (the mass can only leave the system)
So:
[tex](dH_l)/(dt) = (dh_l m)/(dt) = m(dh_l)/(dt) + h_l(dm)/(dt) ≈ (dm)/(dt) h_v + Q [/tex]
[tex]
m(dh_l)/(dt) + h_l(dm)/(dt) ≈ (dm)/(dt) h_v + Q
[/tex]
[tex] m(dh_l)/(dt) ≈ (dm)/(dt) h_v - h_l(dm)/(dt) + Q = -Δh_ev * (dm)/(dt) + Q [/tex]
Now I have to show that, since dh = cp*dT, the equation gives 0 so that dT/dt = 0 -> T = cost.
I suppose the only way to show this is to say that these [tex] Δh_ev * (dm)/(dt) + Q [/tex] are equal because of the definition latent heat.
Is this right, or should I go for an other way?
ps: How to us fractions? It would be mush easier to visualize
Thanks!
