The difference in internal energy

Answer to Problem 34P
The difference in internal energy
Explanation of Solution
Since the gas goes through a
Write the equation for the net change in internal energy of the gas.
Here,
The net change in internal energy must be equal to the sum of the change in internal energy of the gas during the different processes in the cycle.
Write the expression for
