0.5 kg of air at 30 bar and 350 °C is allowed to expand reversibly in a cylinder behind a piston in such a way that the temperature remains constant to a pressure of 0.75 bar. Based on the law pv1.05= constant, the air is then compressed until the pressure is 10 bar. Assuming air to be a perfect gas, determine the:

a) net entropy change,
b) net heat flow,
c)net work energy transfer and sketch the processes on a T-s diagram, indicating the area, which represents the heat flow.

10 kg of air occupying a cylinder volume of 0.28 m3 is allowed to expand isentropically behind a piston to a pressure of 30 bar. The air is then heated at a constant volume. Finally, the air is cooled at a constant pressure back to its initial conditions. The initial pressure is 60 bar. Calculate the change in entropy, the net work done and the net heat flow. Sketch the cycle on the p‐v and T‐s diagrams.
