A quantity of air undergoes a thermodynamic cycle


A quantity of air undergoes a thermodynamic cycle consisting of three internally reversible processes in series.

Process 1-2: isothermal compression from p1 = 100 kPa to p2 = 475 kPa Process 2-3: constant-pressure expansion to T3 = 390 K

Process 3-1: adiabatic expansion to the initial state

Employing the ideal gas model, if the cycle is a power cycle, determine its thermal efficiency. If the cycle is a refrigeration cycle, determine its coefficient of performance.
