Answer

$m_e=0.357\ kg$ $Q_i=0\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

For ideal gases: $PV=mRT$ Given $R=0.287\ kJ/kg.K,\ P=300\ kPa$: Initial ($V_1=0.2\ m³,\ T_1=293\ K$): $m_1=0.714\ kg$ Final ($V_2=0.1\ m³,\ T_2=T_1$): $m_2=0.357\ kg$ From the material balance: $-m_e=m_2-m_1$ $m_e=0.357\ kg$ From the energy balance: $Q_i+W_{b,i}-m_eh_e=m_2u_2-m_1u_1$ Since $\Delta H= \Delta U +\Delta(PV)=\Delta U + W_b$ $Q_i-m_eh_e=m_2h_2-m_1h_1$ At constant temperature $h_e=h_2=h_1=h$ $Q_i=h(m_2-m_1+m_e)=0$
