Consider the heat engine cycle shown below (or see Figure_engine.pdf) that consists of Processes $$1?4$$ discussed in previous assignments. This cycle of processes is known as a Stirling engine. This engine has applications described in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine). It differs from the Carnot engine presented in the videos because it has both reversible and irreversible processes. The irreversible processes make it less efficient than a Carnot engine. However, it is easier to make a Stirling engine. Use the following values for this question. $$\begin{array}{l}{T}_c=293\mathrm{K}\\ T_h=373\mathrm{K}\\ V_a=0.2{\mathrm{m}}^3\\ V_b=1.0{\mathrm{m}}^3\end{array}$$ The system consists of 2 moles of a monatomic gas. Calculate the total work in joules done by the gas during the full cycle of all four processes: 1, 2, 3, and 4. Consider carefully all four processes as well as the sign $$(+/?)$$ of the work done in each process. Do not include units in your answer and write the numerical value in normal form.
