1. identify an object in your house that contains a physical system and list three questions you could use to define the system.
2. use the law of thermodynamics to explain why an ice cube melts in a cup of hot tea.
3. the unit states that systems are not only part of engineering, but also other parts of society, such as financial systems, political systems, etc. could using systems thinking be for these kinds of systems as well? explain your answer.
4. why do you think that engineering students are encouraged to think about uses for technology beyond entertaining society?
5. create a short poem or haiku (a poem with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 in the third) to explain a problem you are currently trying to solve. do not use more than 20 words to express the problem.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
