A vertical piston-cylinder device contains water and is being heated on top of a range. During the process, 10 kJ of heat is transferred to the water, and heat losses from the side walls amount to 80 J. The piston rises as a result of evaporation, and 2 J of work is done by the vapor. Determine the change in the energy of the water for this process.

If you were designing a bumper for a car, would you prefer it to exhibit elastic or plastic deformation? why? consider the functions of a bumper in both a minor "fender-bender" and a major collision.

Avertical steel rod of length 2.0 m and diameter 25 mm is rigidly fixed at its upper end and has a flange at its lower, free, end. what will be the maximum stress produced in the rod when a load of 20 kn is applied, (a) gradually to the lower end, (b) suddenly to the lower end, (c) by a collar falling from a height of 50 mm on to the flange?

1kg of water contained in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes in series from an initial state where the pressure is 3.0 bar and the temperature is 150°c process 1-2: the water is compressed isothermally to a volume of 0.25 m^3 with 120 kj of work being done to the system. process 2-3: the water is heated at constant volume to a final pressure of 10 bar. a. find the change in internal energy for the system. b. calculate the amount of heat transferred, in kj. c. sketch both processes on a t-v diagram. (196.33 kj/kg, 76.33 kj)
