A reversible heat engine, employing an ideal gas with constant heat capacity, follows the following cycle: > Constant-volume heating from state 1 to state 2; > Adiabatic expansion from state 2 to state 3; A constant-pressure process from state 3 to state 1. Show that for this cycle the thermal efficiency is W Qin = 1- CP Cv x V3 V₁ P2 P1 - 1 1 A reversible heat engine, employing an ideal gas with constant heat capacity, follows the following cycle: > Constant-volume heating from state 1 to state 2; > Adiabatic expansion from state 2 to state 3; A constant-pressure process from state 3 to state 1.
