Consider the following cycle shown on the pressure-volume diagram below. Here, 1 → 2 2 Volume corresponds to isothermal expansion, 2 → 3 is an isochore, while 3 → 1 is adiabatic compression. The maximum temperature difference in the cycle is AT. The working substance is one mole of a monatomic ideal gas. The efficiency of the cycle is 1/4. [3] [6] d) Determine between what points in the cycle the temperature difference is AT. e) Calculate the amount of work performed by the system during the 1 → 2 process. Pressure 3
