The three processes in a thermodynamic cycle shown in the figure are : Process $1 \rightarrow 2$ is isothermal; Process $2 \rightarrow 3$ is isochoric (volume remains constant); Process $3 \rightarrow 1$ is adiabatic. The total work done by the ideal gas in this cycle is $10 \,J$. The internal energy decreases by $20 \,J$ in the isochoric process. The work done by the gas in the adiabatic process is $-20 \,J$. The heat added to the system in the isothermal process is .............. $J$

Work done in complete cycle,

$W=W_{12}+W_{23}+W_{31}$

Given $W=10 \,J , W_{23}=0$ and $W_{31}=-20 \,J$

So, from Eq. $(i)$, we have $W_{12}=30 \,J$

As in isothermal process,

Heat absorbed $=$ Work done

$\therefore$ Heat absorbed in process $1 \rightarrow 2=30 \,J$

    Consider one mole of helium gas enclosed in a container at initial pressure $P_1$ and volume $V_1$. It expands isothermally to volume $4 V_1$. After this, the gas expands adiabatically and its volume becomes $32 V_1$. The work done by the gas during isothermal and adiabatic expansion processes are $W_{\text {iso }}$ and $W_{\text {adia, }}$ respectively.
