Answer

$w_b=0\ kJ/kg$ $q=442.8\ kJ/kg$

Work Step by Step

Since the volume is constant in this case (rigid-vessel): $w_b=0\ kJ/kg$ For a constant-volume process on an ideal gas: $\frac{T_2}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{P_1}$ Given $T_1=298\ K,\ P_2=300\ kPa,\ P_1=100\ kPa$: We get to $T_2=894\ K$ The specific energy balance for this system reduces to ($c_v=0.743\ kJ/kg.K$): $q=\Delta u=c_v(T_2-T_1)$ Hence $q=442.8\ kJ/kg$
