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

- 1. It is commonly recommended that hot foods be cooled first to room temperature by simply waiting a while before they are put into the refrigerator to save energy. Despite this common sense recommendation, a person keeps cooking a large pan of stew twice a week and putting the pan into the refrigerator while it is still hot, thinking that the money saved is probably too little. The average mass of the pan and its contents is 5-kg. The average temperature of the kitchen is 20°C, and the average temperature of the food is 95°C when it is taken off the stove. The refrigerated space is maintained at 3°C, and the average specific heat of the food and the pan can be taken to be 3.9 kJ/kg-K. If the refrigerator has a coefficient of performance of 1.2 and the cost of electricity is Php 21.59 per kW-hr. Determine how much will be saved a year by waiting for the food to cool to room temperature before putting it into the refrigerator.

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 7.5 lb/gal. (Express your answer using four significant figures.) T Farrow_forwardTolits is working on a restaurant famous for its bulalo soup. His end of shift is 5:00 pm and needs to go home by that time to pick up his wife, Marites for their anniversary date. A customer made a reservation at 5:15 pm and wants his bulalo soup to be ready at that exact time. To ensure the quality of the soup, it should be served at a temperature which is exactly 88°C. Tolits needs to prepare the bulalo before the end of his shift. Initially, as Tolits is preparing the bulalo soup, its temperature is 23°C and placed on a pan heated at 154° C. After 5 minutes, its temperature is 33°C. The bulalo soup is done (cooked) once its temperature is 120°C. Tolits found out that cooling it in a sink full of cold water, while the faucet is running with the water resulting to roughly constant temperature of 25° C, could bring the temperature of the bulalo to 88° C to be ready at 5:15 pm. How many minutes before the end of the shift of Tolits should he start cooking bulalo so that he is done…arrow_forward
