$A$ given amount of gas has an initial state $(P_i, V_i, T_i)$. It expands until its volume becomes $V_f$. Consider the following two cases:
$(a)$ The expansion occurs at constant temperature (isothermal).
$(b)$ The expansion occurs at constant pressure (isobaric).
Draw the $P-V$ diagram for each case. In which of the two cases is the work done by the gas greater?

When an ideal gas is heated at constant pressure,what percentage of the heat supplied is used to perform external work? $(\gamma = 5/3)$

An ideal gas,initially in state $(P_{12}, V_1, T_1)$ is expanded isobarically to $(P_{12}, V_2, T_2)$,then adiabatically to $(P_{34}, V_3, T_3)$. It is then contracted isobarically to $(P_{34}, V_4, T_4)$ and finally adiabatically back to the initial state. The efficiency of this cycle is

An ideal gas having pressure $P$, volume $V$ and temperature $T$ is expanded isothermally to a volume $3V$ and final pressure $P_I$. The same gas is expanded adiabatically to a volume $3V$, the final pressure being $P_A$. The ratio $P_A/P_I$ is $(C_P/C_V = \gamma)$.
