Question:

Air in a piston/cylinder goes through a Carnot cycle with the P-v diagram shown in Fig. 7.24. The high and low temperatures are 600 K and 300 K respectively. The heat added at the high temperature is 250kJ/kg and the lowest pressure in the cycle is 75 kPa. Find the specific volume and pressure after heat rejection and the net work per unit mass.
