4 The cycle in fig. 3 represents the operation of a gasoline internal combustion engine. Volume
V_(3)=4.00V_(1). Assume the gasoline-air intake mixture is an ideal gas (PV=nRT) with
gamma =(C_(p))/(C_(V))=1.30. Remember that an adiabatic process can be represented by the polytropic
process PV^(gamma )=C, where C is a constant. Use an integral to compute the work done by the
engine from state 2 to state 3 divided by CV_(1)^(1-gamma ), i.e. compute (W)/(CV^(1-gamma )).
