To transition a system from state A to state B along the path ACB...
To transition a system from state to state along the path as shown in the figure, of heat must be supplied. Determine the amount of heat that needs to be supplied to move the system from to via the path .


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
The work done along the path is the sum of the work done during the isobaric process and the isochoric process .
(since volume is constant)
The work done along the path is the sum of the work done during the isochoric process and the isobaric process .
(since volume is constant)
According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy is path-independent.
Substituting the given values and the calculated work done:
Using the mechanical equivalent of heat :
