(2) A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.2 kg of helium at 3 MPa and 400C(point #1). The helium is first expanded isothermally to 600 kPa (point #2), then compressed polytropically with a polytropic exponent of 1.3 to the initial pressure (point #3), and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the initial state. Determine (a) the temperature at point #3 and the volume at each point, and (b) the heat transfer for each process and the net heat transfer of the cycle. (25%)
