An ideal gas Carnot cycle uses air as the working fluid, receives heat from a heat reservoir at 1027°C, is repeated 1500 times per minute, and has a compression ratio of 12. The compression ratio is defined as the volume ratio during the compression process. Determine the maximum temperature of the low-temperature heat reservoir, the cycle's thermal efficiency, and the amount of heat that must be supplied per cycle if this device is to produce 500 kW of power.
