An air standard Carnot cycle is executed in a closed system between the temperature limits of 300 K and 1000 K. The pressure before and after the isothermal compression are 100 kPa and 300 kPa, respectively. If the net work output per cycle is 0.22 kJ, determine
(a) The maximum pressure in the cycle,
(b) The heat transfer to air, and
(c) The mass of air. Use the PG model.
(d) What-if Scenario: What would the mass of air be if the IG model were used?
