A thermodynamic cycle xyzx is shown on a V - T diagram.

The P - V diagram that best describes this cycle is: (Diagrams are schematic and not to scale)

Solution

According to the ideal equation,

PV=nRT

In the given VT diagram,

In process xyVT. So, the process is isobaric process.

In process yzV= constant. So, the process is an isochoric process.

In process zxT= constant. So, the process is an isothermal process.

Analyzing using the ideal gas equation in each process, the PV graph can be drawn as shown below,
