Answer

$Q= 0\ kJ$ $W=25.3\ kJ$ (out)

Work Step by Step

From table A-13: Initial ($P_1=0.8\ MPa, T_1=50°C$): $s_1=0.9803\ kJ/kg.K,\ u_1=263.87\ kJ/kg$ Final ($P_2=0.14\ MPa, s_2=s_1$): $u_2=227.77\ kJ/kg$ Isentropic process implies $Q= 0\ kJ$ From the energy balance: $-W=\Delta U=m(u_2-u_1)$ Given $m=0.7\ kg$ $W=25.3\ kJ$ (out)
