Question:

Consider the following ideal gas engine cycle with only three steps: {12} –  isothermal compression at T-from V1 to V2 ; {23} – isobaric (constant pressure) heating T- from T+ to , where T+ is chosen so that the volume increases back to ; {31} – isometric cooling from Tback to T- , which returns the system to . Sketch this system's path in the pV- and ST-planes. Discuss problems with implementing this cycle reversibly.
