A piston–cylinder device contains steam that undergoes areversible thermodynamic cycle. Initially the steam is at 400 kPaand 350oC with a volume of 0.3 m3. The steam is first expandedisothermally to 150 kPa, then compressed adiabatically to theinitial pressure, and finally compressed at the constant pressureto the initial state. Determine (a) the net work and heat transferfor the cycle after you calculate the work and heat interaction foreach process and (b) show the cyclic process on a PV diagram
