A carnot cycle is conducted using air contained in a cylinder -piston configuration. Initially, the system contains air at 25 degC, 100 kPa and 0.01 m3. You may designate this as state 1. The system is first compressed isothermally until the volume is 0.002m3. From that point, the system undergoes a polytropic compression process with exponent y=1.4 until the volume further reduces to 0.001m3. After that the system undergoes an isothermal expansion process afterwhich, the system is subjected to an adiabatic expansion process until the system reaches the initial state completing a cycle.Determine the maximum P and T in the cycle, the net work of the cycle, heat input, heat rejected, the cycle efficiency (in %) and the mean effective pressure.
