Question: A gas contained within a piston - cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, A and B , between the same end states, 1 and 2 ,

A gas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes two processes, A and B , between the same end states, 1 and 2, where p1=10bar,V1=0.1m3,U1=400kJ
and p2=1 bar, V2=1.0m3,U2=200kJ :
Process A: Process from 1 to 2 during which the pressure- volume relation is pV= constant.
Process B: Constant-volume process from state 1 to a pressure of 2 bar, followed by a linear pressure-volume process to state 2.
Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. For each of the processes A and B ,(a) sketch the process on p-V coordinates, (b) evaluate the work, in kJ , and (c) evaluate the heat transfer, in kJ .
