10. A heat engine operates in a reversible cycle consisting of the following steps: a. Adiabatic compression from volume V1 at T, to volume V2 at T2 b. Heating at constant V2 from temperature T2 to T3 c. Adiabatic expansion from volume V2 at T3 to volume V1 at T4 d. cooling at constant V, from temperature Ta to T1 Taking the working substance to be n moles of an ideal gas for which C, is a constant, show that AS = 0 for complete cycle.
