Consider the change in phase from liquid water to water vapour at 100°C. The vapour pressure is 1 atm. The specific volumes of vapour and liquid are 1.8 m³kg¹ and 0.001 m³kg¹ respectively. (Take the latent heat of vapourisation of water at atmospheric pressure is 22.6 x 10³ J Kg¹.) (a) Find the percentage of the heat of vapourisation that goes into the increase of internal energy. (b) What happens to the remaining heat? (c) Determine by how much the specific entropy of steam exceeds that of liquid water.
