Kasen · Answer 1

The overall heat transfer is 200 kJ

Explanation:

Q = ∆U + W

Q is quantity of heat transfer

∆U is change in internal energy

W is work done

Assuming the process is an isometric process (constant volume) in which work done is 0

Therefore, Q = ∆U + 0

Q = ∆U

∆U = U2 - U1 = 200 - 100 = 100 kJ/kg

Total mass of gas = 2 kg

∆U = 100 kJ/kg * 2kg = 200 kJ

Q = 200 kJ
