A monatomic ideal gas is taken around the cycle shown in Fig. 20.29 in the direction shown in the figure. The path for process c → a is a straight line in the pV-diagram.
(a) Calculate Q, W, and Δ U for each process a → b, b → c, and c → a
(b) What are Q, W, and Δ U for one complete cycle?
(c) What is the efficiency of the cycle?
