A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains water. A constant hydraulic pressure on the back face

Question:

A cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston contains water. A constant hydraulic pressure on the back face of the piston maintains a cylinder pressure of 10 MPa. Initially, the water is at 700C, and the volume is 100 L. The water is now cooled and condensed to saturated liquid. The heat released during this process is the Q supply to a cyclic heat engine that in turn rejects heat to the ambient at 30C. If the overall process is reversible, what is the net work output of the heat engine?
