One kilogram of air in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of three processes: Process 1-2: Constant specific volume
Process 2-3: Constant-temperature expansion
Process 3-1: Constant-pressure compression
At state 1, the temperature is 323 K, and the pressure is 1 bar. At state 2, the pressure is 2 bar. Employing the ideal gas equation of state,
(a) Sketch the cycle on p-v coordinates.
(b) Determine the temperature at state 2, in K.
(c) Determine the specific volume at state 2, in m3/kg.
