Carbon monoxide gas (CO) contained within a piston– cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series:

Process 1–2: Expansion from p1 = 4.5 bar, V1 = 0.8 m3 to V2 = 1.4 m3, during which the pressure-volume relationship is pV = constant.

Process 2–3: Constant-volume heating from state 2 to state 3, where p3 = 4.5 bar.

Process 3–1: Constant-pressure compression to the initial state.

Evaluate the overall work, in kJ and graph
