Answer:

A) 60%

B) p2 = 1237.2 kPa

   v2 = 0.348 m^3

C) w1-2 = w3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

   Q2-3 = 60 kJ

Explanation:

A) calculate thermal efficiency

  Л = 1 - [tex]\frac{Tl}{Th}[/tex]  

where Tl = 300 k

            Th = 750 k

hence thermal efficiency ( Л ) = [1 - ( 300 / 750 )] * 100 = 60%

B) calculate the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion

calculate pressure ( P2 )  :

= P3v3 = mRT3  ----- (1)

v3 = 0.4m , mR = 2* 0.287, T3 = 750

hence P3 = 1076.25

next equation to determine P2

Qex = p3v3 ln( p2/p3 )

60 = 1076.25 * 0.4 ln(p2/p3)

hence ; P2 = 1237.2 kpa

calculate volume ( V2 )

p2v2 = p3v3

v2 = p3v3 / p2

   = (1076.25 * 0.4 ) /  1237.2  

  = 0.348 m^3

C) calculate the work and heat transfer for each four processes

work :

W1-2 = mCv( T2 - T1 )

        = 2*0.718 ( 750 - 300 ) = 1615.5 kJ

W3-4 = 1615.5 kJ

heat transfer

Q2-3 = W2-3 = 60KJ

Q3-4 = 0
