Thermodynamcics quesstion (Diagrams)

In summary, an expert summarizer provides the following information: -In a question, He gives that 0.1 kg of water is contained in a cylinder-piston device. -The water is initially at 1.5 bar and 403 Kelvin. -More 0.1 kg of water is admitted to the cylinder at 2 bar and 403 Kelvin. -The pressure and temperature of the cylinder are maintained constant throughout the filling process. -P-V and T-S diagrams can be used to represent a process in which both pressure and temperature are constant. -The confusion is how to represent a process at which both pressure and temperature are constant. -An expert

In a question He gives that :

0.1 kg of water contained in cylinder-piston device .
Water is initially at 1.5 bar and 403 k (Kelvin).
More 0.1 kg of water at 2 bar and 403 kelvin is admitted to the cylinder.
Through out this filling process, pressure and temperature of cylinder are maintained constant.

Represent this filling process on p-v and T-s diagrams


The confusion is how to represent a process at which both pressure and temperature are constant

Please I need the answer urgently​

Hi and welcome to PF!
Use the relation PV=nRT. If you keep P and T constant while increasing n, V must increase in the same proportion than n.
Also, what is a T-s diagram? Temperature - seconds?

First : Thank you for your speedy response

Second : I mean that in p-v diagram
horizontal line represents constant pressure
but constant temperature process is represented by a curve
So how to represent a process combining the two conditions ( P and T are constants ) !
Would it be a curve or horizontal line or neither of therm ??

Third : T-S is Temperature -Entropy Diagram .

Here is what I would do (I could be wrong though).
Use PV=nRT. P, T and R are constants. n increases until it reaches its double value. What can you say about V?
Plotting this in a P-V diagram should not be a problem once you've figured out the previous question.
 

1. What is the first law of thermodynamics?

The first law of thermodynamics is also known as the law of conservation of energy. It states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.

2. What is the second law of thermodynamics?

The second law of thermodynamics states that in any energy transfer or conversion, some energy will always be lost in the form of heat. This process is irreversible and leads to an increase in entropy, or disorder, within a closed system.

3. What is a thermodynamic system?

A thermodynamic system is a region of space that is being studied in relation to its energy and work interactions with its surroundings. It can be an isolated system, where no energy or matter is exchanged with the surroundings, or an open system, where energy and matter can be exchanged.

4. What is a thermodynamic process?

A thermodynamic process is a change in the state of a system from one equilibrium state to another. It is described by the initial and final states of the system and the energy transfer that takes place during the process.

5. How are thermodynamic processes represented on a diagram?

Thermodynamic processes are often represented on a pressure-volume (PV) diagram or a temperature-entropy (TS) diagram. These diagrams show the changes in pressure, volume, temperature, and entropy of a system during a process. The shape and direction of the curve on the diagram can provide information about the type of process and the efficiency of the system.
