Question: Review the worked solution for the problem below and identify the error ( s ) in the solution. For each error, identify the location of

Review the worked solution for the problem below and identify the error(s) in the solution. For each error, identify the location of the error (line #), nature of the error (numeric or conceptual) and what the correct number/algebraic equation for that line should have been. Finally, provide the correct answer to the problem, if it had been worked correctly.
Air within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot heat pump cycle. For the cycle, TH=600K and TC=300K. The energy rejected by heat transfer at 600 K has a magnitude of 250 kJ per kg of air. The pressure at the start of the isothermal expansion is 325 kPa . Assuming the ideal gas model for air, determine (a) the magnitude of the net work input, in kJ per kg of air, and (b) the pressure at the end of the isothermal expansion, in kPa .
(a) Because cycle:
1,Wnet=Qnet=Qin-Qout
2 Whet =QC-QH
(b) Because carnot:
3,QcQH=TcTH
4,Qc=QH(TcTH)=
5,=(250(kJ)(kg))[300(K)600(K)]
6,Qc=125kJkg
7:.wnet=(125-250kJkg)
8,|Wnet|=|-125kJkg|
9,|wnet|=125kJkg
(c) Find P3 :
* Because isothermal ideal gas: U23=0:.W23=Q23=-250(kJ)(kg)
11,23=v2v3pdv=v2v3RTvdv=RT2ln(v3v2)
12,v3v2=e(W23RT)v2=exp(-250kJkg(0.287kJkg-k)(600k))
13,v3v2=0.234
14,T2=T3
15,P2B
