How long it will take to vaporize all the liquid in tank


A well-insulated rigid tank contains 2 kg of a saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 150 kPa. Initially three-quarters of the mass is in the liquid phase. An electric resistor placed in the tank is connected to a 110-V source, and a current of 8 A flows through the resistor when the switch is turned on. Determine how long it will take to vaporize all the liquid in the tank. Also, show the process on a T-v diagram with respect to the saturation curve.
