Problem 6(10 points)
Consider a power cycle executed by a gas in a piston-cylinder assembly, which follows the P-V relationship shown in the figure below. For process 1-2,U2-U1=15kJ. For process 3-1,Q31=10 kJ . Assuming there are no changes in kinetic or potential energy, calculate the following:
a) The work for each process, in kJ (comment on the signs).
b) The heat transfer for processes 1-2 and 2-3, each in kJ (comment on the signs).
c) The thermal efficiency of the power cycle.
