Question: An ideal gas C p = ( 7 2 ) R and C v = ( 5 2 ) R , undergoes a cycle consisting

An ideal gas Cp=(72)R and Cv=(52)R, undergoes a cycle consisting of the following
mechanically reversible steps:
a) An adiabatic compression from P1,V1,T1 to P2,V2,T2
b) An isobaric expansion from P2,V2,T2 to P3=P2,V3,T3
c) An adiabatic expansion from P3,V3,T3 to P4,V4,T4
d) A constant-volume process from P4,V4,T4 to P1,V1=V4,T1
Sketch this cycle on a PV diagram and determine its thermal efficiency if T1=200C,
T2=500C,T3=1,700C, and T4=700C.
(Ans. This is the same cycle as illustrated in Fig 8.10
of SVA; efficiency is 0.591)
