Paragraph: A fixed mass 'm' of a gas is subjected to transformation of states from K to L to M to N and back to K as shown in the figure




Question : The succeeding operations that enable this transformation of states are
  1. Heating, cooling, heating, cooling
  2. Cooling, heating, cooling, heating
  3. Heating, cooling, cooling, heating
  4. Cooling, heating, heating, cooling

Solution

K to L isobaric process, volume increases with increase in temperature i.e., Heating
L to M isochoric process, pressures decreases with decrease in temperature i.e., cooling
M to N isobaric process, volume decreases with decrease in temp i.e., cooling
N to K isochoric process, pressures increases with increase in temperature i.e., heating
