Three moles of an ideal gas $\left( {{C_P} = \frac{7}{2}R} \right)$ at pressure ${P_A}$ and temperature ${T_A}0$ is isothermally expanded to twice its initial volume. It is then compressed at constant pressure to its original volume. Finally the gas is compressed at constant volume to its original pressure ${P_A}.$ The correct $P-V$ and $P-T$ diagrams indicating the process are

The equation of state of some gases can be expressed as $\left( {P + \frac{a}{{{V^2}}}} \right)\,(V - b) = RT$. Here $P$ is the pressure, $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the absolute temperature and $a,\,b,\,R$ are constants. The dimensions of $'a'$ are
