An ideal gas with R=0.062 BTU/lbm-R and Cv=0.158 BTU/lbm-R undergoes a three-cycle in a closed system. From the initial state of 20 psia and 570 R, the gas is compressed at a constant temperature of 1/5 of its initial volume, process 1-2; it is then heated isochorically to state 3, process 2-3; and finally, expands polytropically with index n=1.5 back to its initial state, process 3-1. Determine the pressures, specific volumes and temperatures at cardinal points around the cycle and the cycle thermal efficiency.
Is the expression for work of a polytropic process W= p2V2- p1V1 / 1-n restricted to processes of an ideal gas? Explain.
