The highest temperature is 400 K and the volumes are V1=V4=12917mm^3 and ,V3= V2=7598mm^3. Mass of air is 1.53*10^-5 kg
Hello,
I'm not sure whether you gave all data necessary. Anyway, the following page should supply you with everything you need to do the calculations on your own (and eventually gather the data not yet given):

The English version of the page is way inferior. Thus if you have problems understanding the German page: use one of the 'secret tools' to translate the interesting parts. Eg. https://translate.google.de/
As mentioned above, one vital data is missing. Atleast 2 properties have to be defined for a state to find out the third from ideal gas equation. In above case, state 3 is defined by 2 known properties. For state 4, all properties may be computed. But the problem lies when we move onto states 2 or 1.
For the isochoric process 2-3, the pressure ratio i.e. P3/P2 is required OR even the knowledge of pressure ratio P4/P1 will make do. Then apply the ideal gas equation and the adiabatic expression (Processes 1-2 and 3-4), you will get the solution.
