Air in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes a Carnot power cycle. For the process numbers used in this problem refer to Figure 5.13 in the textbook and the figure below for a T-s diagram. The isothermal expansion and compression occur at 840 K and 295 K respectively. The pressures at the beginning and the end of the cycle are p1 = 400 kPa and p4 = 100 kPa, respectively. Assuming the ideal gas model for both constant and variable heat capacity, cp = 1.005 kJ/kg·K and k = 1.40 determine:   a) the pressures p2 and p3.   b) the heat transfer and work for each process.   c) the thermal effici ency.
