A piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a cycle consisting of the following three processes:
• Process 1-2: Compression with constant internal energy
• Process 2-3: Constant-volume cooling to p3 = 100 kPa, V3 = 0.1 m3
• Process 3-1: Constant-pressure expansion with W31 = 12 kJ
Sketch the cycle on a p-V diagram, labeling each of the states and indicating the process directions with arrows. If the work for the entire cycle is Wcycle = -20 kJ and changes in kinetic and potential energy are negligible, determine:
a) The volume at state 1 [0.2 m3]
b) The work and heat transfer for process 1-2 [30 kJ, 30 kJ]
c) Is this cycle a power cycle or a refrigeration cycle? Explain.
(c) Since the net work is negative. It is a refrigeration cycle.
