Thermodynamics Water is being cooledd in a closed container while being stirred by a paddle wheel. During thisprocess, 25 kJ of heat is taken away from the water, and 15 kJ of heat is added to the water. Thepaddle-wheel work amounts to 5 N.m. Determine the final energy of the system if its initialenergy is 10 kJ. (Sketch the system boundaries)
A Carnot refrigeration cycle is used as a reference to estimate the energy needed in an attempt to reduce the temperature of a laboratory sample to absolute zero. Suppose you want to remove 0.01 J of energy from the sample that is at 2x10-6K. If the high temperature is 20°C, the heat required is 982.05x10-5J. Analyzing these considerations, calculate the increase in laboratory entropy and the decrease in entropy in the sample.

The weight of a diesel engine is directly proportional to the compression ratio (W = kr) because extra metal must be used to strengthen the engine for the higher pressures.

Do this for several heat inputs and proportionality constants k. Are there any optimal combinations of k and specific heat inputs?
