Q3) It is a thermodynamic question, use thermo tables
A system consisting of 1 kg of air undergoes the following cycle:
Process 1-2: Constant volume heating from P1=100kPa,T1=100C to P2=0.5MPa
Process 2-3: Isobaric compression to V3=0.5m3
Process 3-4: Constant volume cooling to P4=2.141 bar
Process 4-1: Isothermal expansion
Assuming air is an ideal gas and using ideal gas table for air (i.e., using variable specific heat approach):
a) Sketch the cycle on P-v and T-v diagrams.
b) Calculate the work and heat transfer for each processes.
c) Calculate the cycle work and cycle heat transfer.
d) Is this a power cycle or refrigeration cycle?
e) Find the thermal efficiency if this cycle is a power cycle or the coefficient of performance if it is a refrigeration cycle.
