ESO201A/202 TUTORIAL -1 (5th August 2013)

Q1- Determine the phase of water at a. T = 260 0C, P = 5 MPa b. T = 2 0C, P = 100 kPa Q2- The ice cap at the North Pole may be 1000 m thick, with a density of 920 kg/m3. Find the pressure at the bottom and the corresponding melting temperature.

Q3- Find the lowest temperature at which it is possible to have water in the liquid phase. At what pressure must the liquid exist?

(The phase diagram of water is given in next page).
