Air within a piston-cylinder assembly executes a Carnot heat pump cycle, as shown in the figure below. For the cycle, TH = 400 K and Tc = 300 K. The energy rejected by heat transfer at 400 K has a magnitude of 625 kJ per kg of air. The pressure at the start of the isothermal expansion is 325 kPa. TH Tc. p-v diagram for a Carnot gas refrigeration or heat pump cycle. Assuming the ideal gas model for the air, determine: (a) the magnitude of the net work input, in kJ per kg of air, and (b) the pressure at the end of the isothermal expansion, in kPa.
