In this question, the given data is that 5 turns 5 turns of super heat. Steam is produced right, so we have to first find the heat required to convert to ice to is at minus 20 degree. Celsius 2 is at 0 degree celsius, so this will be equals to m multiplied by c. P is multiplied by 0. Minus minus 20, which is equal to as for the given value, is, is 5500 kg multiplied by 2.108 kilo. Jule per kg multiplied by this term is 20 point solving this we get. This is equals to 10200 kilo joule or this is equals to 210 mega joule. Next, we'll calculate the latent heat of is for 5000 kig latent heat of is so. This will be equals to 334 multiplied by mass is 5000 kg, so this is equal to 1670 mega joule. Next, we will calculate the heat required to convert water at 0 degree. Celsius 2100 degree celsius steam right. So again, this will be equal to mass of fate that is 5000 multiplied by cipo fate that is 4.187 multiplied by 100. Minus 0 point that is 100 point. Solving this we get. This is equals to 2093500 kilo, joule or 2093.5 mega joule. Let us assume that it is a dry saturated steam at 100 degree celsius, then we'll have cp steam will be approximately equal to 1.8 kilo jule per kg, so the heat required to convert steam at 100 degree c 2800 degree becomes 5500 multiplied by 1.8 multiplied by 800 minus 100- that is 700 point. This is equals to 6300000 kilo, joule or simply 6300 point or simply 6300 mega joule. Finally, now we can calculate the total heat required total heat required, which will be the sum of all the 3 heats we have calculated above so this will be equals to 210 plus 1670 plus 2093.5 plus 6300 pote have also added the latent heat. So this will be equals to 10273.5 mega joule now to represent this using t s and p v plots we have, as shown on the screen. The first 1 is t s plot, whereas the second 1 is p v plot. I hope you understood. Thank you.
