A Carnot heat engine within a piston cylinder has 10 kg of air as the working fluid and operates between 1000 K and 350 K. During the heat addition process the pressure changes by a factor of 2.5. The volume at the end of the isentropic compression process is 5m^3. Determine the pressure at each state in kPa and the net heat of the cue in KJ assuming Constant Heats at 300 K. Draw a P-v and T-s diagram
