Question: How much heat is to be added to convert (4 mathrm{~kg}) of water at (20^{circ} mathrm{C}) in to steam at 8 bar and (200^{circ} mathrm{C}).

How much heat is to be added to convert \(4 \mathrm{~kg}\) of water at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in to steam at 8 bar and \(200^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Take \(C_{p}\) of superheated steam as \(2.1 \mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{kg}\) and specific heat of water as \(4.187 \mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{K}\).
