An insulated cylinder fitted with a piston contains R-12 at 25 C with a quality of 90% and V=45 L. The piston moves and the R-12 expands until it exists as saturated vapour. During this, R-12 does 7kJ of work against the piston. Determine the final temperature, assuming that the process is adiabatic.

A. -5 C
B. -15 C
C. -25 C
D. -35 C
Answer» C. -25 C
3.

A 25 kg mass moving with 25 m/s is brought to a complete stop with a constant deceleration over a period of 5 seconds by a brake system. The brake energy is absorbed by 0.5kg water initially at 100 kPa, 20 C. Assume that the mass is at constant P and T. Find the energy the brake removes from the mass assuming P = C.
