Question

The pV-diagram in Fig. E20.5 shows a cycle of a heat
engine that uses 0.250 mol of an
ideal gas with g = 1.40. Process ab is adiabatic. (a) Find the
pressure of the gas at point a. 
(b) How much heat enters this 
gas per cycle, and where does 
it happen? (c) How much heat 
leaves this gas in a cycle, and 
where does it occur? (d) How 
much work does this engine do
in a cycle? (e) What is the thermal efficiency of the engine
