The working gas of a thermodynamic cycle is air(assume constant specific heats.)The gas originally starts at 100kPa, 4m3and 27oC. It undergoes a four step process:Process A-B: The gas is compressed at constant temperature to one-fourth of its volume. Process B-C: The volume of the gas is then doubled at constant pressure. Process C-D:The gas then undergoes an adiabatic expansion.Process D-A:The gas then undergoes a constant volume process back to its original statea) Make a table of the temperature, pressure, volume, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and quality factor (T, P, V, U, H, S & x) at the start of each process.b) Make a table of the change in internal energy, heat flow, work done, change in enthalpy, and change in entropy (U, Q, W, H, S) during each leg of the cycle.c) Draw a well-labelled P-v diagram (indicating lines of constant temperature.)d) Calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle.

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...
