2 kg of steam at 0.2 Mpa and 250 C (state1) undergoes the following reversible changes in a series of nonflow processes:
* Compressed adiabatically to 400 C (state 2),
* Heated at constant pressure to 500 C (state 3),
* Expanded isothermally until the specific volume reaches that of state 1 (state 4),
* Cooled at constant volume to state 1 .

Problem 7-173- A piston–cylinder device contains air that undergoes a reversible thermodynamic cycle. Initially, air is at 400 kPa and 300 K with a volume of 0.3 m3. Air is first expanded isothermally to 150 kPa, then compressed adiabatically to the initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the initial state. Accounting for the variation of specific heats with temperature, determine the work and heat transfer for each process.
An ideal gas initially at 600K and 10 bar undergoes a four-step mechanically reversible cycle in a closed system. In step 12 (the process that changes the system from State 1 to State 2), pressure decreases isothermally to 3bar; in step 23, pressure decreases at constant volume to 2bar; in step 34 volume decreases at constant pressure; and in step 41, the gas returns adiabatically to its initial state. Take Cp=(7/2)R and Cv=(5/2)R. Determine the efficiency of the cycle. (Hint:...
