I just need help with parts (f), (g), (h) and (i) Problem 6: A certain gasoline engine is modeled as a monatomic ideal gas undergoing an Otto cycle, represented by the p-V diagram shown in the figure. The initial pressure, volume, and temperature are p1 = 0.95 × 105 Pa, V1 = 0.025 m3, and T1 = 310 K, respectively. Part (a) Calculate the number of moles times the gas constant, nR, in joules per kelvin, to three significant figures, using the ideal-gas law and the initial values of pressure, volume, and temperature. This quantity will be useful for later calculations. nR = 7.7 Part (b) The first step in the Otto cycle is adiabatic compression. Enter an expression for the work performed on the gas during the first step, in terms of V1, V2, and p1. W1→2 = p1 V1 ( ( V1/V2 )( 2/3 ) - 1 )/( 2/3 ) Part (c) Calculate the work performed on the gas during the first step, in joules, for V2 = V1/6.2.

In a steady-state operating power plant, saturated liquid H2O at 122 deg C is fed to a boiler at 3.756 m/s through a pipe (0.03 m diameter). It leaves the boiler at 9 bar and 88.7 m/s. Then, it enters the turbine through a constant 0.13 m diameter pipe. The exit pipe of the turbine is 0.3 m in diameter and T = 310ºC while P = 1.37 bar. If 2.5 kg/s water is fed and there is change in KE, prove that the fluid enters the turbine at 637.06 deg C.
