An insulated cylinder fitted with a movable piston to maintain constant pressure initially contains 100 g of ice at -10 C. Heat is supplied to the contents at a constant rate by a 100 W heater. Make a graph showing temperature of the cylinder contents as a function of time starting at t = 0, when the temperature is -10 C and ending when the temperature is 110 C. Let c = 2.0 kJ/kg Kfor specific heat of ice from -10 to 0 C and of the steam from 100 to 110 C. The specific heat of water between 0 C and 100 C is c = 4.18 X 103 J/kg K. The value of Lv = 2257 X 103 J/ kg and Lf = 333.5 X 103 J/kg.
