A 4 liter sample of a diatomic gas with γ =1.4 confined to a cylinder, is carried through a closed cycle. The gas is initially at 1.00atm. and 300K. First, its pressure is tripled under constant volume. Then it expands adiabatically to its original pressure. Finally the gas is compressed isobarically to its original volume.
a) draw pV diagram of this cycle
b) Determine the volume of the end of the adiabatic expansion
c) Find the temperature of the gas at the start of the adiabatic expansion
d) Find the temperature at the end of the cycle
e) What was the net work done on the gas for this cycle
