Process undergone by
1 mole gas is as shown :
For an ideal monoatomic gas, ratio of specific heat
γ=35​ For adiabatic process
A→B pA​VAγ​=pB​VBγ​ Substituting values of
pA​,pB​ and
VB​ from graph,
⇒32×105×VAγ​=1×105×(1)γ ⇒VAγ​=(321​)γ Here,
γ=35​ ⇒(VA​)35​=321​ or
VA​=(321​)53​=(25)53​1​=81​m3 Similarly for adiabatic compression
C→D,
pC​VCγ​=pD​VDγ​ We substitute values from graph,
⇒(1×105)×(8)35​=(32×105)(VD​)35​ ⇒VD35​​=1 ⇒VD​=153​=1m3 Now, Work done in process
A→B→C→D→A =WAB​+WBC​+WCD​+WDA​ Here we substitute work done for adiabatic process,
Wadiabatic​=γ−1pi​Vi​−pf​Vf​​ and work done of isobaric process,
Wisobaric​=p(Vf​−Vi​) so, work done in given cycle
ABCDA =WAB​+WBC​+WCD​+WDA​ =γ−1pA​VA​−pB​VB​​+pB​(VC​−VB​)+γ−1pC​VC​−pD​VD​​+pD​(VA​−VD​) Substituting values of pressures and volumes, we get
WABCDA​=35​−132×105×81​−1×105×1​+1×105(8−1)+35​−11×105×8−32×105×1​ +32×105(81​−1) =23×105×3​+7×105+2−24×105×3​+4×105×x−7=−52.5×105J
