Question

Show that the cycle efficiency is given by: \begin{equation} \eta = 1 - \frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1}} \left[ \frac{\rho^{\gamma} - 1}{\rho - 1} \right] \end{equation} where $r = \frac{V_1}{V_2}$ and $\rho = \frac{V_3}{V_2}$

          Show that the cycle efficiency is given by:
\begin{equation}
\eta = 1 - \frac{1}{r^{\gamma - 1}} \left[ \frac{\rho^{\gamma} - 1}{\rho - 1} \right]
\end{equation}
where $r = \frac{V_1}{V_2}$ and $\rho = \frac{V_3}{V_2}$

Show that the cycle efficiency is given by:

η = 1 - (1)/(r^γ - 1)[ (ρ^γ - 1)/(ρ - 1)]

where r = (V1)/(V2) and ρ = (V3)/(V2)
