Question

A T-V curve of a cyclic process is shown above, if the number of moles of the gas are n, find the total work done during the cycle

Open in App

Solution

Since path AB and CD are isochoric therefore work done is zero during path AB and CD. Process BC and DA are isothermal, therefore
$W_{B C} = n R 2 T_{0} l n \frac{V_{C}}{V_{B}} = 2 n R T_{o} l n 2$
$W_{D A} = n R T_{o} l n \frac{V_{A}}{V_{D}} = - n R T l n 2$
Total work done $= W_{B C} + W_{D A} = 2 n R T_{o} l n 2 - n R T_{o} l n 2$
$= n R T_{o} l n 2$
