A piston/cylinder device operating in a cycle with steam as the working fluid

Chapter 6, Problem 6.39

(choose chapter or problem)

A piston/cylinder device operating in a cycle with steam as the working fluid executes
the following steps:
? Saturated-vapor steam at 300 (psia) is heated at constant pressure to 900(°F).
? It then expands, reversibly and adiabatically, to the initial temperature of 417.35(°F).
? Finally, the steam is compressed in a mechanically reversible, isothermal process
to the initial state.
What is the thermal efficiency of the cycle?
