Help Please! a) How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 3.5 kg steel pot containing 3.0 kg of water from 28 oC to the boiling point and then to boil away 2.0 kg of the water?

b) If heat is supplied to the pot of water at the rate of 150 cal/minutes, how long will this take?

Arigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. one part of the tank contains 3 kg of compressed liquid water at 400 kpa and 60°c while the other part is evacuated. the partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. determine the entropy change of water during this process, if the final pressure in the tank is 40 kpa. use steam tables.
