Show process on p-v diagram and find thermal efficiency


A system consists of 2kg of CO2 gas initially at state 1 where P1=1 bar and T1=300K. The system undergoes a power cycle consisting of the following processes:

Process 1-2: constant volume to P2 = 4 bars Process 2-3: expansion with P*v^1.28 = constant Process 3-1: constant pressure compression

Assuming ideal gas behavior, show the process on a P-v diagram and calculate the thermal efficiency of the cycle, where thermal efficiency is defined as the net work out divided by the heat in.
