A rigid, well-insulated tank contains a two-phase mixture consisting of 0.005 ft3 of saturated liquid water and 2.7 ft3 of saturated water vapor, initially at 14.7 lbf/in.2 A paddle wheel stirs the mixture until only saturated vapor remains in the tank. Kinetic and potential energy effects are negligible. For the water, determine the amount of energy transfer by work, in Btu.
