In a Carnot heat engine, the heat addition changes the working fluid from saturated liquid to saturated

Question:

In a Carnot heat engine, the heat addition changes the working fluid from saturated liquid to saturated vapor at T, P. The heat rejection process occurs at lower temperature and pressure (T T), (P P). The cycle takes place in a piston cylinder arrangement where the work is boundary work. Apply both the first and second law with simple approximations for the integral equal to work. Then show that the relation between P and T results in the Clapeyron equation in the limit T dT.
