Initially, the air with P1=330kPa and T1=70°C is cooled without producing any work until P2= 100kPa, and then it is expanded according to PVn=cont, where n=1.84 until the volume is double. The air again will be heated without changing the volume until the temperature of the air increase to the initial temperature. It is then cooled with constant pressure until the volume becomes 0.5m3.
