KJ (from the gas)CHANGE in Internal energy (u2 – u1) = -20 kJ (drop)According to first law of thermodynamicsδQ = dU + δW-40 = -20 + δW⇒ δW = -20 kJ ---(I) SINCE, the process is isobaric (as pressure REMAINS same)So, isobaric work done δW = PdV = P (Vfinal - Vinitial) δW = P (Vfinal - Vinitial) = -20 kJ1000 kPa × (0.2 – y) M3 = -20 kJ\(0.2 - y = \frac{{ - 20}}{{1000}} = - 0.02 \Rightarrow y = 0.22\)∴Initial volume (y) = 0.22 m3
