Using Energy Concepts and the Ideal Gas Model

One lb of air undergoes a cycle consisting of the following processes:

Process 1–2: Constant-pressure expansion with p = 20 lbf/in.2 from T1 = 500°R to v2 = 1.4 v1.

Process 2–3: Adiabatic compression to v3 = v1 and T3 = 820°R.

Process 3–1: Constant-volume process.

Sketch the cycle on a carefully labeled pv diagram. Assuming ideal gas behavior, determine the energy transfers by heat and work for each process, in Btu.
