Question: In a piston - cylinder system, air ) = ( 1 . 4 initially at 0 . 3 MPa and 5 0 0 K is

In a piston-cylinder system, air )=(1.4 initially at 0.3MPa and 500K is undergone the following processes respectively.
Process 1-2: Polytropic expansion from 500K and P1=0.3MPa to P2=0.2MPa with n=k.
Process 2-3: Cooling to T3=72C at constant pressure.
Process 3-4: Return to the initial state (point 1) by heating at constant volume.
Accordingly,
a. Find the work and heat transfer in kJ/kgfor each process.
b. Draw the P-V diagram for the cycle.
c. Calculate the thermal efficiency.
 In a piston-cylinder system, air )=(1.4 initially at 0.3MPa and 500K
