R is the gas constant, γ is the heat capacity ratio of the gas (and n is
the number of moles.
AB-isothermal.
ΔW= Q area under the curve depicts the work done , ie. heat intake.
ΔW=nRTlnV2/V1
BC-isobaric.
CD-isochoric.
ΔW=0
Q= ΔU = mcvΔT =(R/γ−1) mΔT
DA-adiabatic .
No heat exchange.
use ΔU+ΔW=QΔU+ΔW=Q anyhow.
