One mole of nitrogen undergoes the following three-step cyclic process, which starts and ends at 5 bar and 5 liter: (a) Reversible expansion at constant isothermal compressibility to 10 liter, (b) Reversible compression at constant volume expansivity to 5 liter, (c) Irreversible isometric cooling to 5 bar. Determine the net work done and the net heat transferred over one cycle. Assume the ideal-gas equation is obeyed with cv = 5R/2.
