Explanation:
The graphic is the heating curve for water. Note that it is divided into 5 distinct heat flow segments. The segments with changing slopes are single phase segments with changes in temperature values. From left to right segment A is solid ice being warmed to it's melting point. Segment B is the melting segment in which 2 phases are in contact (solid + liquid). Note that addition of heat does not change the temperature. Segment C is warming of the liquid (single phase) up to its boiling point. At the boiling point the liquid begins to pass into the gas phase and again 2 phases are in contact; i.e., liquid & gas. Note again when two phases are in contact no temperature change occurs. Finally, segment E is the heating of the pure, single phase gas.
In summary ...
Segment A => heating single phase (solid) ice up to melting pt.
Segment B => melting of ice => 2 phases in contact (s & l) ΔT = ∅.
Segment C => heating single phase (liquid) water up to boiling pt.
Segment D => boiling of liquid => 2 phases in contact (l & g). ΔT = ∅.
Segment E => heating single phase (steam) up to desired temperature.
For what it's worth, the equation for the segments that show increasing temperature values is q = mcΔT (m= mass, c = specific heat & ΔT temp change.
The segments with zero slopes (horizontal lines) are defined by equations q = m·ΔHₓ where m = mass & ΔHₓ = heat of fusion (a constant = 335 j/g). The same is true for the line at 100°C where q = m·ΔH(v) where m = mass & ΔH(v) is the heat of vaporization (a constant = 2259 j/g.
Calculations involve calculating the amount heat transfer for each segment individually and then adding the heat values to obtain the total heat transfer.
If you need more instruction on this topic, kick back a note and I'll try to help clarify. Good Luck, Doc :-)
