A mass of air initially at 760 KPa and 2500C occupies 0.026 m3. The air is expanded at constant pressure to 0.07 m3. A polytropic process with n = 1.52 is then carried out followed by an isothermal process and the cycle is thus completed. Assuming all the processes to be reversible.
- Show all the processes on PV and TS planes.
- Compute the heat received and rejected in the cycle
- Calculate the efficiency of the cycle.
