Calculate the energy required to convert 100 kg of ice at 0 degrees C and 1 atm. to water vapor at 650 degrees C and 60 bar. The heat of fusion of ice is 333.6 J/g at 0 degrees C.
Suggested path: i) convert the ice from solid to liquid, ii) heat the liquid to the boiling point, iii) convert the saturated liquid to a saturated vapor, iv) heat the vapor to the final temperature, v) pressurize the gas to the final pressure. Other paths are equally effective.
