A Carnot cycle operating on 2kg of methane, have the following properties given at the beginning of isothermal expansion, P=2060 kPaa, T=270°C. The ratio of the isothermal expansion is 1.8 and the isentropic compression is 7.2. Find the volume, temperature, and pressure at each corner of the cycle, draw the PV and TS diagram, change in entropy during the isothermal process, heat supplied and rejected by the cycle, thermal efficiency, and mep.
