Question: ( 9 - 1 2 ) An air - standard cycle is executed within a closed piston - cylinder system and consists of three processes

(9-12) An air-standard cycle is executed within a closed piston-cylinder system and consists of three processes as follows:
1-2V= constant heat addition from 100 kPa and 27C to 700 kPa
2-3 Isothermal expansion until V3=7V2
3-1,P= constant heat rejection to the initial state
Assume air has constant properties with cv=0.718kJkg*K,cp=1.005kJkg*K,R=0.287kJkg*K, and k=1.4.
(a) Sketch the P-V and T-s diagrams for the cycle.
(b) Determine the ratio of the compression work to the expansion work (the back work ratio).
(c) Determine the cycle thermal efficiency.
Answers: (b)0.440,(c)26.6 percent
