A piston cylinder device contains 0.15 kg of air initially at 2 MPa and 350 C. First, the air expands isothermally to a pressure of 500 kPa. Then, it is compressed polytropically back to the initial pressure (2 MPa) with a polytropic exponent of 1.2. Find the work performed or introduced by or to the air for each process. Express it both times in kJ.
