    Internal energy ∆U=-26KJ

    Explanation:

    Given that:

    Work done by the motor=+30KJ

    Heat gained by the motor=+4KJ

    In solving thermodynamical questions it is reasonable to use the sign convention this

    Heat is positive if it is added to a system, but becomes negative if the system rejects heats.

    Work is positive if the system does work, but becomes negative if work is done on the system.

    Using the thermodynamics first law

    ∆U=Q-W

    ∆U = 4-30=-26KJ
