Question:

A liquid when kept inside a thermally insulated closed vessel at \(25^{\circ}C\) was mechanically stirred from outside. What will be the correct option for the following thermodynamic parameters?

Show Hint

In a thermally insulated system, no heat exchange occurs (q=0). Work done on the system is positive (w>0), and work done by the system is negative (w\>0).

  • \(\Delta U>0, q=0, w>0\)
  • \(\Delta U=0, q=0, w=0\)
  • \(\Delta U<0, q=0, w>0\)
  • \(\Delta U=0, q<0, w>0\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the changes in the thermodynamic parameters of the system when a liquid in a thermally insulated closed vessel is mechanically stirred. The key steps involve understanding the implications of each listed parameter under the given conditions:

1. System Description: The liquid is in a thermally insulated closed vessel, which implies that there is no heat exchange with the surroundings, i.e., q = 0.

2. Work Done: Mechanical stirring involves external work being done on the system. Thus, w > 0, as work is added to the system from the surroundings.

3. Change in Internal Energy (∆U): According to the first law of thermodynamics: \(\Delta U = q + w\). Substituting the known values, we get:

\(\Delta U = 0 + w \gt 0\)

Since w > 0, the internal energy of the system increases, making ∆U > 0.

Therefore, the correct option for the thermodynamic parameters is:

\(\Delta U>0, q=0, w>0\)
