Muhammad is a Mechanical Engineering major at UCR, and his team just got their buttskicked by an ME team from CSUN in a design competition. The CSUN team had a greatpower cycle, and one of their members (Arman) was laughing at them the entire time. WhenMuhammad returns to UCR he goes straight to the lab and begins working on a better powercycle design. Muhammad's power cycle takes air that is initially at a pressure of 240 kPaand a volume of 4 m³. In the first step, the air undergoes isothermal expansion to a volumeof 12 m. In the second step, the air undergoes isobaric expansion to a volume of 20 m². Inthe third step, the air undergoes isochoric pressurization back to 240 kPa. In the fourth, andfinal, step the air undergoes isobaric contraction to a volume of 4 m³. What is the net heatflow, per cycle, in Muhammad’s power cycle?[Hint: Draw a PV diagram of the process. It will help.]
