Pressure Pat One type of heat engine uses liquid nitrogen as the fuel, and produces work as the nitrogen is brought up to room temperature. One such engine works by injecting evaporated nitrogen gas into a cylinder and allowing it to heat up to room temperature, then it is allowed to isothermally expand to atmospheric pressure before it is released into the atmosphere and the cylinder is reset (isobarically) and the process repeats. A P-V cycle for this engine is depicted below where V₁ is 1 liter (1.0x10-3 m³) and Pat =1.0x105 N/m² B A Isothermal expansion (Room Temp T=300K) V₁ Volume 3.5 V₁ (a) Find the Temperature at point A and the pressure at point B.
