A gas inside a piston-cylinder device completes a three-step forward cycle, called the Lenoir cycle, described as follows:

1-2: constant volume with p1 = 100 kPa, and p2 = 500 kPa

2-3: poly tropic with pV1.4 = C and V3 = 0.002 m3

3-1: constant pressure

Complete a thermodynamic analysis of this cyclic process defining the system as the gas and neglecting any effect of friction. Plot the cycle in p-V coordinates. Determine the missing state variables V1, V2, and p3, and the net work output, Wnet.
