Answer

$W = 165.92\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

From steam tables: At 300 kPa, the specific volume of saturated steam is $v_1 = 0.60582\ m³/kg$. At 300 kPa and 200°C, the specific volume of the steam is: $v_2 = 0.71643\ m³/kg$. The work at constant pressure is given by: $W = mP(v_2-v_1)$ With a mass of steam of $5\ kg$: $W = 165.92\ kJ$
