A gas contained within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: Process 1–2: Constant volume from p1 = 1 bar, V1 = 6 m3 to state 2, where p2 = 2 bar. Process 2–3: Compression to V3 = 3 m3, during which the pressure–volume relationship is pV = constant. Process 3–4: Constant pressure to state 4, where V4 = 1 m3.

Question
A gas contained within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series:

Process 1–2: Constant volume from p1 = 1 bar, V1 = 6 m3 to state 2, where p2 = 2 bar.
Process 2–3: Compression to V3 = 3 m3, during which the pressure–volume relationship is pV = constant.
Process 3–4: Constant pressure to state 4, where V4 = 1 m3.

Determine the work for each process, in kJ.

 

Process 1–2:  
W12 =  kJ
Process 2–3:  
W23 =

 kJ
Process 3–4:  
W34 =  kJ
