A heat engine using a monatomic gas follows the cycle shown in the ??pV diagram.
The gas starts out at point 1 with a volume of ?1=318 cm3,V1=318 cm3, a pressure of ?1=235 kPa,p1=235 kPa, and a temperature of 287 K.287 K. The gas is held at a constant volume while it is heated until its temperature reaches 455 K455 K (point 2). The gas is then allowed to expand adiabatically until its pressure is again 235 kPa235 kPa (point 3). The gas is maintained at this pressure while it is cooled back to its original temperature of 287 K287 K (point 1 again).
For the first stage of this process, calculate in joules the heat ?12Q12 transferred to the gas and the work ?12W12 done by the gas.

For the second stage, calculate the heat ?23Q23 transferred to the gas and the work ?23W23 done by the gas.

For the third stage, calculate the heat ?31Q31 transferred to the gas and the work ?31W31 done by the gas.
