1.2. A unit mass of dry air undergoes a Carnot cycle consisting of the following steps: (a) adiabatic compression from 60 kPa and 0°C to a temperature of 25°C; (b) isothermal expansion to a pressure of 70 kPa; (c) adiabatic expansion to a temperature of 0°C; (d) isothermal compression to the original pressure of 60 kPa. Calculate the work done by the air in this process. Confirm your result using the tephigram or another meteorological thermodynamic chart.
