A gas contained in a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes twoprocesses in series:
Process 1-2:
compression with pV = constant, where p1 = 100 kPa. V1 = 1.0 m3 andV2= 0.5 m3.
Process 2-3:
constant pressure expansion from V2 to V3 = 1.0 m3.
How much work is done in going from state 1 to state 3? Hint:remember that there
is a dot product in the definition of work.

n moles of an ideal, monatomic gas is contained in apiston-cylinder arrangement and constrained to undergo thethermodynamic cycle depicted on the accompanying p-V diagram.

[pv=nRT; R = 8.314 J K/mol; U = 3nRT/2; Wi,f = Integral of pDV;Qi,f = Wi,f + (Uf-Ui)]

I can't post a picture of the graph but it is a simplegraph. P is on the y-axis, V is on the x-axis. Thereare two points on the y-axis, P1 and P2, and two points on thex-axis, V1 and V3=rV1. There is now a rectangular shape (4points) made up using these corresponding positions on thegraph. Point 1 corresponds to (V1, P1), point 2 correspondsto (V1, P2), point 3 corresponds to (V3=rV1, P2) and point 4corresponds to (V3=rV1, P1)

Data: p2=3p1, v1=v2, v3=v4=rv1

Determine the efficiency, E, of this cyclic process for theconversion of thermal energy into the net work output, in terms ofthe compression ratio, r.

Please help us with this ASAP, it will be greatlyappreciated. Thank you!

A gas undergoes three processes in series that complete a cycle:
Process 1-2: compression from , top . During which the pressure-volume relationship is, pv= constant
Process 2-3: constant volume to p3=p1
Process 3-1: constant pressure
