A piston-cylinder heat engine has five kilograms of air as the working fluid. Analyze this engine as a Carnot engine and determine the work of expansion and the amount of heat rejected in KJ assuming constant specific heat at 300k. During the heat rejection, the temperature is 300?. There is a temperature difference of 600 degrees in the engine. At the beginning of the heat rejection process, the pressure is .2MPa and during heat addition the volume doubles. Draw the P-v diagram and T-s diagram for the cycle.
