Learning undergraduate engineering thermodynamics might be less painful with a blog. I hope that students, faculty and interested observers will share their thoughts on the laws of thermodynamics, phase and chemical equilibrium and many related topics.

HW #4, P7 - 1st Law Analysis of Steam in a Closed System - 4 pts
As shown in the figure below, 5.0 kg of steam contained within a piston-and-cylinder device undergoes an expansion from state 1 where the specific internal energy is 2709.9 kJ/kg to state 2 where the specific internal energy is 2659.6 kJ/kg. During the process, there 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 gravitational potential energies of the steam. Determine the work done by the steam on the piston during the process in kJ.
