    Here ambient air will be at 350K.

    Air after cooling effect = 300K (air temp inc as it act as refrigerant).

    Air before cooling effect = 250K.

    Cooling effect = (300-250) = 50 KJ/KG.

    Total heat rejected to atm= (350-250) = 100KJ/KG.

    Hence work done by compressor= thr - ce = 100-50= 50KJ/KG.
