QUESTION:

Figure P2.73 shows a power cycle executed by a gas in a piston-cylinder assembly. For process 1-2, \(U_2-U_1=15 \mathrm{~kJ}\). For process 3-1, \(Q_{31}=10 \mathrm{~kJ}\). There are no changes in kinetic or potential energy. Determine  (a) the work for each process, in kJ,  (b) the heat transfer for processes 1-2 and 2-3, each in kJ, and  (c) the thermal efficiency.
