Question:

A pressure cooker (closed tank) contains water at 100{eq}^{\circ}C {/eq}, with the liquid volume being 1/10th of the vapor volume. It is heated until the pressure reaches 2.0 MPa. Find the final temperature. Has the final state more or less vapor than the initial state?

Constant Volume Process:

  • During the constant volume process, the volume remains constant at the initial and final states.
  • Constant volume process is also called isochoric process.
  • One of the best examples for the constant volume process is heating of water in a pressure cooker.

{eq}\textbf {Given:} {/eq}

  • Initial temperature of water, {eq}T_1=100^\circ {/eq}
  • Initial volume of water, {eq}V_f=\frac {V_g}{10} {/eq}
  • Final...
