In the follwoing section, where is the minus coming from (the part that is bold and underlined(?

  • Path c→d

(Isothermal compression at T=TCD) Similar to path a→b, since the process is isothermal, there is no change in internal energy: ΔU = 0  Thus, Qcd = −Wcd=−W3 =−1654.25 J

  •  

  • Path d→a

(Adiabatic compression) Again, since the process is adiabatic, there is no heat exchanged: Qda=0  Thus,Qda=−Wda=−W4=−(−2280.32)J=2280.32J
