A reversible cycle executed by 1 mol of an ideal gas for which cp = (5/2)R and cv = (3/2)R, consists of the following: (i) Starting at T1 = 700 K and P1 = 1.5 bar, the gas is cooled at constant pressure to T2 = 350 K (ii) From T2 = 350 K and P1 = 1.5 bar, the gas is compressed isothermally to pressure P2. (iii) The gas returns to its initial state along a path for which PT=constant. What is the efficiency of the cycle?

Question

A reversible cycle executed by 1 mol of
an ideal gas for which cp = (5/2)R and cv = (3/2)R,
consists of the following:
(i) Starting at T1 = 700 K and P1 = 1.5 bar, the gas
is cooled at constant pressure to T2 = 350 K
(ii) From T2 = 350 K and P1 = 1.5 bar, the gas is
compressed isothermally to pressure P2.

(iii) The gas returns to its initial state along a path
for which PT=constant.
What is the efficiency of the cycle?
