Question:

An engine using 1 mol of a diatomic ideal gas performs a cycle consisting of three steps: (1) an adiabatic expansion from an initial pressure of 2.64 atm and an initial volume of 10 L to a pressure of 1 atm and a volume of 20 L, (2) a compression at constant pressure to its original volume of 10 L, and (3) heating at constant volume to its original pressure of 2.64 atm. Find the efficiency of this cycle.
