A mole of ideal monatomic gas travels irreversibly through the cycle described by the following steps:...

A mole of ideal monatomic gas travels irreversibly through the cycle described by the following steps:
1 → 2; (V1 = 24.4 dm3, T1 = 298 K) → (V2 = 24.4 dm3, T2 = 596 K)
2 → 3; (V2 = 24.4 dm3, T2 = 596 K) → (V3 = 12.2 dm3, T3 = 298 K)
3 → 1; (V3 = 12.2 dm3, T3 = 298 K) → (V1 = 24.4 dm3, T1 = 298 K)
Determine the values of Q, W, ΔU and ΔH for the three steps of the cycle as well as for the overall process. Comment the results obtained (check the state functions)
DATA: CV = 3 / 2R; Cp = 5 / 2R.

The answer to this question is the following (but I need help to get there with proper calculations and arguments):

1 → 2 isocoric: W = 0, ΔU = Qv = 3.71kJ, ΔH = 6.19kJ;
2 → 3 isobaric, p2 = p3: W = 2.48 kJ, ΔH = Qp = -6.19 kJ, ΔU = -3.71 kJ;
3 → 1 isothermal: ΔU = ΔH = 0, Q = -W = 1.72 kJ
In the cycle: ΔU = ΔH = 0, Q = -W = - 1.24 kJ

    A steam power plant design consists of an ideal Rankine cycle with reheat and regeneration. Steam enters Turbine 1 at P1 and T1 at the rate of m1 and exits at P2. A fraction (y') of the steam exiting Turbine 1 is diverted to a closed feedwater heater while the remainder is reheated to T3 before entering Turbine 2. A fraction (y'') of the steam exiting Turbine 2 at P4 is diverted to an open feedwater heater while the remainder...
