(a) During the change from A -> B: Calculate the work done, the change in internal energy, and the Q transferred between the system and the surroundings. Has the internal energy increased or decreased? Does heat enter or leave the system? (b) During the change from B -> C: Calculate the work done, the change in internal energy, and the Q transferred between the system and the surroundings. Has the internal energy increased or decreased? Does heat enter or leave the system? (c) During the change from C -> D: Calculate the work done, the change in internal energy, and the Q transferred between the system and the surroundings. Has the internal energy increased or decreased? Does heat enter or leave the system? (d) During the change from D -> A: Calculate the work done, the change in internal energy, and the Q transferred between the system and the surroundings. Has the internal energy increased or decreased? Does heat enter or leave the system? (e) Calculate the net work done over the cycle? (d) Determine the total heat entering the system. (f) Determine the efficiency of the cycle.
