P – T Diagram Exercises

 Sketch the following processes on the P -T diagram from an original state (1) to the resulting state (2):

a) The sublimation of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide),


b) A constant pressure cylinder of superheated vapor is cooled until liquid just begins to form,


c) A constant pressure cylinder of superheated vapor is cooled until all the vapor is gone,


d) A liquid-vapor two-phase mixture is heated at constant volume until its quality is 1.0









The Conduction Rate Equation

The conduction rate equation, Fourier’s Law, was previously discussed in  this blog entry. We can now consider its origin. Fourier’s Law is...
