17N.3.SL.TZ0.b

A monatomic ideal gas is confined to a cylinder with volume 2.0 x 10–3 m3. The initial pressure of the gas is 100 kPa. The gas undergoes a three-step cycle. First, the gas pressure increases by a factor of five under constant volume. Then, the gas expands adiabatically to its initial pressure. Finally it is compressed at constant pressure to its initial volume.

Using the axes, sketch the three-step cycle.
