Water, initially a saturated vapor at 150 degrees Celsius, is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly. The water undergoes a polytrophic process (n=1) to a pressure of 0.01 MPa, during which the piston moves freely in the cylinder. If the change of state is brought about by heating the water as it undergoes an internally reversible process at constant temperature, determine the work and heat transfer per unit mass, each in kJ/kg.
