Question

An ideal gas initially occupying 0.020 m3 at 1.0 MPa is quasistatically expanded inside a piston-cylinder device at a constant pressure until its volume doubles. Next the expansion is continued at constant volume till the pressure reaches half of the initial pressure. Finally it is brought back to the initial state in a polytropic process with exponent n=1.6
a. Draw the processes on a P-v diagram and calculate the total work.
b. Calculate the total heat transfered, what is the difference between the initial and final temperature?
