- 6One mole of a monoatomic ideal gas $\left(c_{ V }=\frac{3}{2} R \right)$ undergoes a cycle where it first goes isochorically from the state $\left(\frac{3}{2} P _0, V _0\right)$ to $\left( P _0, V _0\right)$, and then is isobarically contracted to the volume $\frac{1}{2} V _0$. It is then taken back to the initial state by a path which is a quarter ellipse on the $P - V$ diagram. The efficiency of this cycle isView Solution
