A Brayton cycle with a pressure ratio of 12 operates with air entering the compressor at 13 psia and 208F, and the turbine at 10008F. Calculate the net specific work produced by this cycle treating the air as an ideal gas with
(a) constant specific heats at room temperature and
(b) variable specific heats.
