\(\ \ \ \ \Delta \hat{H} + \frac{\Delta (u^2)}{2}=0\)
\(\ \ \ \ d\hat{H}+udu=0\)
\(\ \ \ \ d\hat{H} = Td\hat{S} +\hat{V}dP\)
For isentropic \((\Delta S = 0)\)
\(\ \ \ \ \hat{V}dP+udu=0\)
\[\ \ \ \ \int_{u_d}^{u_e} udu=- \int_{\hat{V}_d}^{\hat{V}_e} \hat{V}dP\]
\[\text{ also }P\hat{V}^{\gamma}=\text{const.}\]
\[u_e^2-u_d^2=\frac{2\gamma P_d \hat{V}_d\ (\text{or }RT_d)}{\gamma-1}\left[1-\left(\frac{P_e}{P_d}\right)^{\frac{\gamma-1}{\gamma}}\right]\]

After lots of algebra
\[W_{\mathrm{net}}=-R\left(T_3-T_1\right)\ln \frac{P_2}{P_4}\]
\[Q_\mathrm{hot}=C_p \left(T_1-T_3\right)+RT_3\ln \frac{P_2}{P_4}\]
\[\eta=\frac{R\left(T_3-T_1\right)\ln \frac{P_2}{P_4}}{C_p\left(T_1-T_3\right)+RT_3 \ln \frac{P_2}{P_4}}\]
Note that \(|Q_2|=|Q_4|\)
If we could use a perfect heat exchanger between Steps 2 and 4

\[\eta=\frac{R\left(T_3-T_1\right)\ln \frac{P_2}{P_4}}{RT_3 \ln \frac{P_2}{P_4}}=1-\frac{T_1}{T_3}\]

Similar to the Ericsson cycle
\[W_{\mathrm{net}}=-R\left(T_3-T_1\right)\ln \frac{P_b}{P_a}\]
\[Q_\mathrm{hot}=C_v \left(T_3-T_1\right)+RT_3\ln \frac{P_b}{P_a}\]
\[Q_4=C_v \left(T_1-T_3\right)\]
For perfect HX between Steps 2 and 4
\[\eta=\frac{R\left(T_3-T_1\right)\ln \frac{P_b}{P_a}}{RT_3 \ln \frac{P_b}{P_a}}=1-\frac{T_1}{T_3}\]
