Eighteen kilograms of methang gas is confined inside a closed cylinder equipped with a piston which has an initial pressure of 3100 mmHg abs and 138°C. If the gas is cooled until its final pressure and temperature are 2340 mmHg gauge and 0°C, respectively, what is the amount of work done by the fluid in kJ?
