Calculate time until tank reaches given temperature


A rigid tank, which has a volume of 0.1 m^3, contains 1kg of water at 100 Celcius. A 3kWatt heater is energized until the tank->:

a) Calculate the time until the tank reaches 200 Celcius, and the final pressure in the tank?

b) Calculate the time until the tank reaches 400 Celcius, and the final pressure in the tank?

c) Draw the process on a P-v and T-v diagram (v=specific volume) with respect to saturation line; label the initial conditions and parts as 1, 2, and 3.
