The boiler of a steam generator has a total volume of 2 m3, and initially contained 1.5 m3 of water and 0.5 m3 of steam in balance at 1 kgf/cm2. The home is turned on and the water and steam from the boiler are heated. Somehow, the inlet and outlet valves of the boiler were left closed, and the safety valve will open when the pressure reaches 56 kgf/cm2. How much heat is transmitted to the water and steam in the boiler before the safety valve opens?
