The discussion focuses on determining the pressure inside a rigid tank containing 100 kg of water at 100°C, heated to 120°C within a volume of 83 m³. The participants reference the saturated steam tables for water at both temperatures to find the corresponding pressures. The heating process involves calculating the total energy supplied to the water and vapor, while considering the rigid nature of the tank which maintains the water and steam mixture. The conclusion emphasizes that not all water vaporizes, and the pressure exerted by the steam above the liquid must be calculated using the steam data table.
