Air is contained in a piston-cylinder. Initially, the 0.35 kg of air is at 2 MPa and 350°C. The air is first expanded isothermally to 500 kPa, then compressed polytropically with a polytropic exponent of 1.25 to the initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the initial state. Calculate the net heat transfer during the polytropic process in kJ assuming constant specific heats at 300 K (with 3 significant figures).
