(N/A) $1$. Work to Heat: In winter,when we rub our palms together,the mechanical work done in rubbing is converted into thermal energy (heat),which makes our palms feel warmer.
$2$. Heat to Work: In a steam engine,the thermal energy (heat) released from steam is used to perform mechanical work by pushing pistons,which in turn rotate the wheels of the train.

View Solution

$n$ moles of a perfect gas undergo a cyclic process $ABCA$ (see figure) consisting of the following processes:
$A \rightarrow B :$ Isothermal expansion at temperature $T$ so that the volume is doubled from $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}=2V_{1}$ and pressure changes from $P_{1}$ to $P_{2}$.
$B \rightarrow C :$ Isobaric compression at pressure $P_{2}$ to initial volume $V_{1}$.
$C \rightarrow A :$ Isochoric change leading to a change of pressure from $P_{2}$ to $P_{1}$.
Total work done in the complete cycle $ABCA$ is

$A$ certain amount of gas is taken through a cyclic process $(A-B-C-D-A)$ that has two isobars, one isochore, and one isothermal process. The cycle can be represented on a $P-V$ indicator diagram as:
