5 kg of steam contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes an expansion from state 1, where the specific internal energy is u1 = 2709.9 kJ/kg, to state 2, where u2 = 2659.6 kJ/kg.
During the process, there is heat transfer to the steam with a magnitude of 80 kJ. Also, a paddle wheel transfers energy to the steam by work in the amount of 18.5 kJ.
- There is no significant change in the kinetic or potential energy of the steam.
- Determine the energy transfer by work from the steam to the piston during the process, in kJ.
