Answer

$W=4938\ kJ$

Work Step by Step

For the isentropic process: $T_{2s}=T_1\left(\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\right)^{(k-1)/k}$ Given $T_1=300\ K,\ P_2=900\ kPa,\ P_1=100\ kPa,\ k=1.667$: $T_{2s}=722.7\ K$ From the energy balance: $W_s=\Delta U = mc_v(T_{2s}-T_1)$ With $m=3\ kg,\ c_v=3.1156\ kJ/kg.K$ $W_s=3950\ kJ$ Since $\eta = W_s/W=0.80$ $W=4938\ kJ$
