A cycle starts with an adiabatic compression of the air from state a with a volume V3 to state b with volume V1. At the end of the compression, heat is added (absorbed), resulting in an isobaric expansion to state c with volume V2 followed by an adiabatic expansion back to volume V3 at state d. Finally, heat is expelled, corresponding to an isochoric reduction completing the cycle and bringing air back to state a. Find the ratio between the initial and final temperatures for (1) the adiabatic compression, and (2) the adiabatic expansion in terms of the expansion ratio re = V3 /V2 and the compression ratio rc = V3 /V1.

Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.
