Does every rock go through the rock cycle, from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic each time around???

No it does not ALWAYS go through all the stages because each rock forms differently at different rates. Igneous rock can weather to sediement rock, or melt to magma, however this does not necessarily mean it does this every time. It all depends on the temperature, wind, and pressure/heat.

The rate of entropy change of the working fluid during the heat addition process is 3 kW/K

What is the Carnot cycle?

The Carnot Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle made up of reversible isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, and adiabatic compression processes in succession.
The ratio of the heat absorbed to the temperature at which the heat was absorbed determines the change in entropy.

The entropy of a system:

The rate of heat addition is expressed as,

Q = $\frac{WT_{H}}{T_{H}- T_{L}}$
