A closed, expandable system like that shown below is operated in an adiabatic manner.
First, 15,000 lb;ft of work are done by this system. Then, work is applied to the stirring
device to raise the internal energy of the fluid by 10.28 Btu. 1) Calculate the net increase
in the internal energy of this system, and 2) explain how you could calculate the change in
temperature of the system.

A weighted piston (total masa of 17 kg)., resting on stops in a cylnder (radius of 0.05 m) divides a container into two regions. 0.075 kg of saturated liquid water at 50 Cis contained
beneath the piston. The rest of the cylinder and container is evacuated. Heat is applied to the water until the piston is lifted off of the stops and moved a distance () of 0.6 m.
As the piston reaches the mouth of the cylinder, the hermetic seal is broken and the cylinder contents can now expand to fil the remainder of the evacuated space. At this instant,
no additional heat is added to or removed from the system. When the system fully equilibrates, its absolute pressure is measured to be 0.01 MPa

bị What is the water temperature when the piston reaches the mouth of the cylinder?
c) What is the final volume of the water (after the seal is brokenj?
During processing in a steel mill, a 900 lb steel casting at 800°F is quenched by plunging it into a 550 gal oil bath, which is initially at a temperature of 100°F. After the casting cools and the oil bath warms, what is the final temperature of the two? The weight per unit volume of the oil is
