Question:

Three moles of an ideal gas are taken around the cycle abc shown in Fig. 19.31. For this gas, Cp = 29.l J/mol· K Process ac is at constant pressure, process ba is at constant volume, and process cb is adiabatic. The 1emperatures of the gas in states a, c, and b are Ta = 300 K, Tc = 492 K, and Tb = 600 K. Calculate the total work W for the cycle.
