3. Initially, 0.55 kg of air is contained in a piston-cylinder device at 2 MPa and 350°C. The air is
first expanded isothermally to 500 kPa, then compressed polytropically with a polytropic
exponent of 1.2 to the initial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressure to the
initial state. Determine the heat transfer for each process and the net heat of the cycle (in kJ).
