I'm stuck on a question on a thermo sheet and it is
A possible ideal-gas cycle operates as follows:
(i) From an initial state (p1; V1) the gas is cooled at constant pressure to (p1; V2);
(ii) The gas is heated at constant volume to (p2; V2);
(iii) The gas expands adiabatically back to (p1; V1).
Assuming constant heat capacities, show that the thermal efficiency is
1-(gamma)*((V1/V2)-1)/((P2/P1)-1)
what I currently have is
for the Isobaric part:
dW=P1(V2-V1) and dQ=Cp(T2-T1)
The const vol part:
dW=0 and dQ=Cv(T2-T1)
The adiabatic part
dW=(P2V2-P1V1)/(gamma-1) and dQ=0
where gamma=Cp/Cv
Any help would be much appreciated
thanks
