Revalue data:
p3  120 kPa , V3  0.03 m3 , W31  9.5 kJ and Wcycle =  7.5 kJ .

Solution:
(a) Use the following expression for work done W31  in constant pressure
process 3-1:

 0.109 m3

Thus, the volume at state 1 is 0.109 m3 .

(b) Work done in the complete cycle is equal to the sum of work done in each
process. Therefore,
Wcycle  W12  W23  W31

Process 2-3 is a constant volume process, so there is no change in volume and thus no
work is done in this process that is W23  0 .

Modify above expression of Wcycle .

Wcycle  W12  0  W31
W12  Wcycle  W31

Substitute 7.5 kJ for Wcycle and 9.5 kJ for W31 .

W12  7.5 kJ  9.5 kJ
=  17 kJ

Thus, work for process 1-2 is 17 kJ .

According to first law of thermodynamics, write the following expression for process
1-2:
U 2  U1   KE  PE  Q12  W12
It is given that there is no change in kinetic and potential energy so KE  PE  0 .
Also, U 2  U1 , so modify above expression to obtain the following expression:
0  Q12  W12
Q12  W12

Substitute 17 kJ for W12 .

Q12  17 kJ

Thus, heat transfer for process 1-2 is 17 kJ .

 

(c) A power cycle is one in which overall work is done by the system that is
Wcycle  0 . But Wcycle =  7.5 kJ  0 , so it cannot be a power cycle. The given
