Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Initially the air is cooled at constant pressure until it’s volume is half then it expand isothermally back to original volume.
From ideal gas equation, relation between pressure
r any two states, the above equation becomes as,
Here,
At constant pressure graph will be parallel to volume axis and at constant temperature graph will be hyperbolic in nature.
As shown in the above figure, curve
In this process pressure changes from
