Question: ( 4 0 p t s ) A Carnot engine containing I mole of ideal gas is initially at rest at 6 0 0 K

(40pts) A Carnot engine containing I mole of ideal gas is initially at rest at 600K and 5atm. It goes
through the following scries of processes to make one cycle:
Isothermal expansion to 5 times its initial volume
Adiabatic expansion to a pressure of 0.2atm
Isothermal compression to a volume of 26lt and a pressure of 0.99atm
Adiabatic compression to the inital volume, pressure and temperature
Calculate the PVT values at cach state and the changes in internal energy, heat and work transfers during each
of the processes. Also calculate the efficiency of this engine.
