Sketch the processes in series on p-v coordinates


Solve the below problem:

Q: Air contained within a piston cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series:

Process 1-2: Compression at constant pressure from P1=10 lbf/in2, V1= 4ft3 to state 2.

Process 2-3: Constant-volume heating to state 3, where P3= 50 lbf/in2.

Process 3-1: Expansion to the initial state, during which the pressure-volume relationship is PV = constant.

Sketch the processes in series on p-V coordinates. Evaluate

(a) The volume at state 2, in ft3, and

(b) The work for each process, in Btu.
