Answer:

No, energy as work cannot be transferred to the fluid.

The change in internal energy of the fluid is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Work is dW = -P dV.

The fluid is incompressible, so dV = 0. If there is no change in volume of the fluid, no work can be done. dW = 0.

Internal energy is dE = Q + W.

The work is zero. Since the piston is insulated, the heat transferred is also zero. If Q = 0 and W = 0, then the change in internal energy of the fluid dE is also zero.
