Addition of heat at constant pressure. ii) -4.-Adiabatic expansion Go) AARejection of heat at constant volume, Point 1 represents that the cylinder is full of air. Let p,, V; and 7 be the corresponding pressure, volume and absolute temperature. The piston then compresses the air adiabatically (i.e, pV = constant till the values became 2, Vz and T, respectively (at the end of the stroke) at point 2. Heat is then added from a hot body at @ constant pressure. During this addition of heat let Fetus volume increases from V; to Vy and temperature 7 to 7, corresponding to point 8.
