A heat engine performs the reversible cycle abca with 9.0 moles of an ideal gas, as shown in the figure. Path ca is an adiabatic process. The temperatures at points a and b are 300 K and 500 K, respectively. The volume at point c is 0.20 m3. The adiabatic constant of the gas is 1.60. What is the thermal efficiency of this engine?      η=
