A cyclic process is shown in the p-T diagram. Which of the curves show the same process on a P - V diagram?

Step-by-step solution

- Given diagram: P-T graph. - Using ideal gas law: (P V=n R T V= n R T P ). So in a (P-T ) graph we can infer how (V ) behaves. Step analysis of cycle ( A B C A ) : - A ( B ) : Both (P ) and (T ) increase proportionally (straight line through origin). ( V= n R T P = constant. ) So ( A B ) is an isochoric process in (P-V ). - ( B C : T ) constant, (P ) decreases. ( ) Isothermal expansion in (P-V ). - ( C A : P ) constant, (T ) decreases. ( ) Isochoric process in (P-V ). So the cycle consists of: - Isochoric line, -
