A cycle ABCA on a V - T diagram: AB is a straight line through the origin (A to B, V and T rise), BC is horizontal ( V constant, T falls) and CA is vertical ( T constant, V falls). On a p - V diagram

Question

A cycle ABCA on a V - T diagram: AB is a straight line through the origin (A to B, V and T rise), BC is horizontal ( V constant, T falls) and CA is vertical ( T constant, V falls). On a p - V diagram the cycle is:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

AB through the origin: V ∝ T , so p is constant (horizontal). BC has constant V and falling T : p falls (vertical down). CA is isothermal compression: p rises along a hyperbola back to A. The loop runs clockwise.
