Starting from volume VA and pressure PA, an ideal gas undergoes the following three-stage, reversible, cyclic process: (i) adiabatic expansion to volume VB, then (ii) isochoric heating to pressure PA, then (iii) isobaric cooling to volume VA. Draw this process on a P V -diagram, and evaluate the change in the entropy of the system (∆S), for each stage. Show that the sum of these entropy changes is zero, as it should be since the system returns to its initial state. Assume CV and CP are constant.
