An ideal gas expands isobarically (constant pressure) from point A to point B. The gas is compressed isothermally (constant temperature) from point B to C. Finally, the gas goes through an isochoric (constant volume) process until it returns to point A. Given: Volume at point A = Volume at point C = 0.004 m3, Volume at point B = 0.008 m3, Pressure at point A = Pressure at point B = 1,000,000 Pa, Temperature at point A = 600 K....
