What is the engine's thermal efficiency?

Homework Equations

n=W/Q_h

The Attempt at a Solution

Alright so up to this point I have figured out p1,p2,p3, T1,T2,T3, V1,V2, and V3.

I tried doing W = area of triangle = .5(5-1)atm*(5.0*10^-3-1.0*10^-3)m^3 and got .008J. I assumed Q_h was 2200K because that is what I got for the temperature between T2 and T3, and that is where the heat should be going in. So I divided and 36.36% but that is wrong. Any help here? Thanks!

Bump any help?

Work is not a triangle in this case. You'll have to integrate dW = P*dV, where P = nRT/V.

Also, why is Q_h a temperature of 2200 K and not a heat transfering into the engine cycle?

Heat units = Joules

Temperature units = Kelvin
