A piston-cylinder assembly contains 4.9 kg of water at 231.2°C and 3 bar. The water is compressed to a saturated vapor state where the pressure is 54.1 bar. During compression. there is a heat transfer of energy from the water to its surroundings having a magnitude of 209 kJ. Neglecting changes in kinetic energy and potential energy, determine the work, in kJ, for the process of the water. A piston-cylinder assembly contains 4.9 kg of water at 231.2°C and 3 bar.
