A heat engine consists of the cycle shown for 3 moles of an ideal 2 2p monatomic gas. It starts at point 1 with pressure p and volume V; it goes via an isochoric (constant volume) process from point 1 to point 2 until the pressure doubles; it then goes from point 2 to point 3 via an adiabatic process; finally it goes V from point 3 to point 1 via an isothermal pro ess.
