In the movie Men in Black agent K is willingly swallowed by a giant extraterrestrial cockroach in attempt to retrieve his laser blaster. Agent K has a mass of 80 kg and his specific internal energy is 63.4 Btu/lbm. Edgar the cockroach has a mass of 1500kg and a specific internal energy of 28 Btu/lbm. Medgar Magent K a. What is the total internal energy of the new system right after Edgar swallows agent K? Ans: 104 MBtu b. Excluding the weapon as part of the combined thermodynamic system, when agent K fires his weapon while still inside Edgar it adds 20,000 Btu of heat to the system. If the system does not explode, and is allowed to reach thermal equilibrium, what would have been the new specific internal energy of the system? (Poor Edgar) Ans: 35.5 Btu/lbm In the movie Men in Black agent K is willingly swallowed by a giant extraterrestrial cockroach in attempt to retrieve his laser blaster.
