Efficient thermodynamics.

Two moles of a monoatomic ideal gas ( γ = 5 / 3 ) \left( \gamma = {5}/{3} \right) is taken through a cyclic process A B C A ABCA as shown above. The process C A CA is best described as P T = constant PT = \text{constant} . If the efficiency of the cyclic process is

η = 1 k 4 ln 2 + 5 \large \eta = 1 - \dfrac{k}{4 \ln 2 + 5}

then what is the value of k k ?


The answer is 7.
