Question:

Consider a piston–cylinder assembly that initially contains 0.5 kg of steam at 400°C and 100 bar. For the isothermal expansion of the steam in this system to a fi nal pressure of 1 bar, determine the following:

(a) What is the maximum possible work (in [kJ]) that can be obtained during this process and the entropy change of the surroundings (in [kJ/K])?

(b) Repeat part (a) using the ideal gas model for steam. Compare your answers.
