An insulated piston–cylinder device contains 5 L of saturated liquid water at a constant pressure of 175 kPa. Water is stirred by a paddle wheel while a current of 8 A flows for 45 min through a resistor placed in the water. If one-half of the liquid is evaporated during this constant-pressure process and the paddle-wheel work amounts to 400 kJ, determine the voltage of the source. Also, show the process on a P-v diagram with respect to saturation lines.

A technician measures the specific heat of an unidentified liquid by immersing an electrical resistor in it. Electrical energy is converted to heat, which is then transferred to the liquid for 125 s at a constant rate of 67.9 W. The mass of the liquid is 0.770 kg, and its temperature increases from 18.58°C to 22.57° C.

A Cu wire of diameter of 2 mm and length of 1 m initially at room temperature of 300 K is applied a constant voltage difference of 100 V for 1000 seconds. The temperature of the wire rose due to Joule heating during the application of the voltage, so one waited for a sufficiently long time after the voltage is removed for the wire to cool back to the room temperature of 300 K. The conductivity of Cu is 6×107S/m.
