A Carnot cycle engine using air as the working substance receives heat at 400°C, and rejects it at 60°C. The minimum cylinder volume is 3.94 x 106 m³. The maximum cycle pressure is 2400 kPa. During addition of heat, the volume is doubled. Determine the pressure and volume at each part of the cycle. Determine the work done during each part of the cycle and the thermal efficiency.
