The ideal gas air-conditioning cycle, shown in Fig 10.16, operates with air as the refrigerant. The compressor inlets air at 80 kPa and 08C and operates with a pressure ratio of 7. If the temperature of the air entering the turbine is 1008C, the lowest temperature in the cycle is nearest:

(a) 2 388C
(b) 2 468C
(c) 2 598C
(d) 2 678C
