Problem1. A piston cylinder device containing 0.5 kg of waterhas initial volume of 0.5L. The device starts and goes through aCarnot cycle and generates 500.3 kJ work. If the maximumtemperature that water will reach is 1.5 times the minimumtemperature of water and during heat rejection process, water goesfrom saturated vapor to saturated liquid phase. Find: 1. QH &QL for this cycle (10 points). 2. TH & TL for this cycle (10points). 3. Maximum and minimum pressures that the cycle will reach(20 points). 4. Show this process on a T-v diagram and labeltemperature, pressures and specific volumes. (To get full points,your states, and your processes should be accurately placed inrelation to isobaric lines and vapor dome) (10 points). 5. Theexpansion and compression of water in this device arequasi-equilibrium processes, EXPLAIN why this process delivers thehighest amount of work (5 points). 6. Find the pressure atremaining state(s) (Bonus 5 points)
