Answer: [tex]3590\ kJ[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
Paddle wheel work is [tex]W=-5090\ kJ\quad \text{work is done on the system}[/tex]
Heat transfer from the tank is [tex]Q=-1500\ kJ\quad \text{heat taken from the system}[/tex]
From the first law of thermodynamics
Change in the internal energy of the system is equal to the difference of heat and work .
[tex]\Rightarrow \Delta U=Q-W\\\Rightarrow \Delta U=-1500-(-5090)\\\Rightarrow \Delta U=3590\ kJ[/tex]
Therefore, the change in internal energy is [tex]3590\ kJ[/tex]
