Answer:
Pmax = 30MPa
The heat input required Qin = 0.706KJ
The mass of air m = 0.00296kg
Explanation:
The step by step solution to this problem can be found in the attachment below.
A Carnot cycle with specified temperature limits is considered. The maximum pressure in the cycle, the heat transfer to the working fluid, and the mass of the working fluid are to be determined. Assumptions
Air is an ideal gas with variable specific heats.
Analysis
(a) In a Carnot cycle, the maximum pressure occurs at the beginning of the expansion process, which is state 1.
