(N/A) $1$. Isochoric Process: A thermodynamic process in which the volume of the system remains constant $(dV = 0)$ is called an isochoric process. In this process, no work is done by or on the system $(W = 0)$.
$2$. Cyclic Process: A process is called cyclic if the system returns to its initial state after a series of changes. In a cyclic process, the change in internal energy is zero $(\Delta U = 0)$.
$3$. First Law of Thermodynamics: For an ideal gas, the first law of thermodynamics is given by $\Delta Q = \Delta U + \Delta W$, where $\Delta Q$ is the heat supplied to the system, $\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy, and $\Delta W$ is the work done by the system.

An ideal gas at initial temperature $T_0$ and initial volume $V_0$ is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 V_0$. The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume $5 V_0$ and thereafter compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again $T_0$. If the final volume of the gas is $\alpha V_0$, then the value of constant $\alpha$ is

Two samples of gas $A$ and $B$ are initially at the same pressure and temperature. They are compressed from volume $V$ to $V/2$. If $A$ is compressed isothermally and $B$ is compressed adiabatically,then the final pressure of $A$ is:
