Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the first law of thermodynamics, which states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system. In mathematical terms, this is expressed as:

ΔU = Q - W

Where: ΔU is the change in internal energy, Q is the heat added to the system, and W is the work done by the system.

In this problem, we are given the heat added to the system (Q = 150 kJ/kg) and we are asked to find the work done by the system (W). We are also given the initial and final states of the water, which we can use to find the change in internal energy (ΔU).

The specific internal energy of water at the initial state (2000 kPa and 300°C) and the final state (2500 kPa and 350°C) can be found in steam tables. Let's assume that the specific internal energy at the initial state (U1) is X kJ/kg and at the final state (U2) is Y kJ/kg. Therefore, the change in internal energy (ΔU) is Y - X kJ/kg.

Substituting the values of Q and ΔU into the first law of thermodynamics, we get:

Y - X = 150 - W

Solving for W, we get:

W = 150 - (Y - X)

Without the specific values of X and Y, we cannot calculate the exact value of W. However, once you find these values in the steam tables, you can substitute them into this equation to find the specific work done by the system.
