Above shows a cyclic process. Calculate the total work done during one complete cycle.
(Assume a single step to reach the next state).
State   1             ⇆     State   2    …
Solution
The forward direction is expansion process and reverse direction is compression process. Overall process is isothermal process.
The net work done
are exapansion work
are compression work
The net work done
