Efficiency of an engine operating condition to Carnot cycle is equal to ? = 0.45. Temperature and specific volume of the gaseous working medium at the beginning of isentropic compression are T1 = 600 K and v1 = 0.5 m3/Kg respectively. Find the gas properties at all other characteristic points of the cycle and the amount of heat released during isothermal compression. Assume that the mass of 1Kg of the gas undergoes the sequence of processes corresponding to Carnot cycle....
