Question
A gas is initially at a pressure of $100kPa$ and its volume is $2.0m^3$. Its pressure is kept constant and the volume is changed from $2.0m^3$ to $2.5m^3$. Its volume is now kept constant and the pressure is increased from $100kPa$ to $200kPa$. The gas is brought back to its initial state, the pressure varying linearly with its volume.
- Whether the heat is supplied to or extracted from the gas in the complete cycle?
- How much heat was supplied or extracted?
