Reconsider Prob. 16-45. Using EES (or other) software, study the effect of the final temperature on the rate of heat supplied for the two cases. Let the final temperature vary from 2500 to 3500 K. For each of the two cases, plot the rate of heat supplied as a function final temperature.
Prob. 16-45
Water vapor (H2O) is heated during a steady-flow process at 1 atm from 298 to 3000 K at a rate of 0.2 kg/min. Determine the rate of heat supply needed during this process, assuming (a) some H2O dissociates into H2, O2, and OH and (b) no dissociation takes place.
