A diatomic gas containing 1.5 moles expands in an isothermalprocess from b to c. From c to a the gas is compressed from avolume of 0.1m3 to 0.04m3 at a constant pressure of 100kPa and froma to b the gas goes through an isochoric process. Determine:
(3 pts) Determine highest temperature and the lowest temperaturereached by the gas.

(6 pts) Determine how much heat is added to the gas in eachcycle and how much heat is lost each cycle.
Heat Added
Heat Lost
(3 pts) Calculate the efficiency of this engine and theefficiency of a Carnot engine working between the sametemperatures.
