A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initikl thermodynamic state at pressure $P_i=10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$ and volume $V_i=10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$ chanıes to i final state at $P_f=(1 / 32) \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$ and $V_f=8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}^3$ in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that $P^3 V^5=$ constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at $P$, followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volume $V_f$. The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately
An ideal gas is taken through a quasi-static process described by $P = \alpha\, V^2$, with $\alpha = 5\,atm/m^6$. The gas is expanded to twice its original volume of $1\,m^3$. How much work is done by the expanding gas in this process
