Problem 21P
One mole of a monatomic ideal gas has an initial pressure of 210 kPa, an initial volume of 1.2 × 10−3 m3, and an initial temperature of 350 K. The gas now undergoes three separate processes: (i) a constant-temperature expansion that triples its volume; (ii) a constant-pressure compression to its initial volume; and (iii) a constant-volume increase in pressure to its initial pressure. At the end of these three processes, the gas is back at its initial pressure, volume, and temperature. Plot these processes on a pressure-versus-volume graph, showing the values of P and V at the end points of each process.
