Question: A machine uses a thermal cycle where the initial stage is an isentropic adiabatic compression process with the equation pvY = constant. Known initial conditions

A machine uses a thermal cycle where the initial stage is an isentropic adiabatic compression process with the equation pvY = constant. Known initial conditions are 1 bar and 30C. After that, a combustion process occurs in which the heat is given at a constant volume. The heat given is 40 MJ/kg and if the specific heat at a constant volume is known to be 0.718 kJ/kg K, determine the maximum temperature that occurs and determine the maximum pressure
