A cyclic process is shown on a
P−V diagram. The working fluid is an ideal gas. Four points
A,B,C and
D are marked on the
P−V diagram and corresponding thermodynamic co-ordinates are given. Here, the
P and
V scales are so chosen that these cycles on
P−V diagram appear to be circular.
Analyse these cycles on
P−V diagram and answer the following questions about these processes.
What is the work done during compression in the given process?
