Thermodynamic In a piston-cylinder air at 100 kPa and 15°C undergoes the following cycle. First, it is compressed isentropically to a compression ratio of 20. Then 1800 kJ/kg of heat is transferred to the air at constant pressure. Afterwards the air expands isentropically. In the last step, heat is removed at constant volume until the air reaches its original state. Assuming air behaves as an ideal gas and with Cp and Cv independent of temperature, determine the: (a) pressure and...
