Answer

$Q_i=606.8\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

From tables A-4 to A-6: Initial ($P_1=2\ MPa, T_1=300°C$): $v_1=0.12551\ m³/kg,\ u_1=2773.2\ kJ/kg,\ h_1=3024.2\ kJ/kg$ Final ($P_2=2\ MPa, T_2=500°C$): $v_2=0.17568\ m³/kg,\ u_2=3116.9\ kJ/kg,\ h_2=3468.3\ kJ/kg$ From the material balance: $m_e=m_1-m_2$ From $m=V_t/v,\ V_t=0.2\ m³$: $m_1=1.594\ kg,\ m_2=1.138\ kg\rightarrow m_e=0.456\ kg$ From the energy balance: $Q_i-m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ Assuming $h_e\approx (h_1+h_2)/2=3246.2\ kJ/kg$ we get to: $Q_i=606.8\ kJ$
