An ideal gas is taken through these
thermodynamic cycles
Draw the ABCD cycle on a P-V diagram and
determine all of the unknown temperatures,
pressures, volumes at points A, B, C, D in terms of n,
R, Pa, Va.
What is the net mechanical work done by the gas
over the entire cycle?
How much heat is absorbed by the gas during each
leg of the cycle?
Explain why this is the cycle of a heat engine, and
determine it's efficiency.
