A gas within a piston cylinder assembly undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of the following three processes- Process 1-2: Compression with pV = constant, from p₁= 1 bar, V₁ = 2 m³ to V₂ = 0.2 m³, U₂-U₁ = 1000 kJ Process 2-3: constant volume to a pressure of P3 = P1 Process 3-1: this process is an adiabatic process with pressure constant. Assume that there are no significant changes in kinetic or potential energy. First identify thermodynamic states 1,2 and 3 on a P-V diagram and then determine the network of the cycle in kJ Is this a power cycle or a refrigeration cycle? Explain why.
