Let’s analyze the situation step by step: System: The liquid inside a thermally insulated (adiabatic) and closed vessel.
Process: The liquid is mechanically stirred from outside.
Heat Exchange (q) Because the vessel is thermally insulated, there is no heat exchange between the system and surroundings.
Hence, q=0. Work (w) The external mechanical stirring does work on the system by agitating the liquid.
Work done on the system is conventionally taken as positive: w>0. Change in Internal Energy (ΔU) From the First Law of Thermodynamics, ΔU=q+w. Since q=0 and w>0, we get ΔU=w>0. Hence: ΔU>0,q=0,w>0. Answer: Option B is correct.
