A 1.00-mol sample of a monatomic ideal gas is taken through the cycle shown in Figure P22.65. At point A, the pressure, volume, and temperature are Pi , Vi , and Ti , respectively. In terms of R and Ti , find (a) the total energy entering the system by heat per cycle, (b) the total energy leaving the system by heat per cycle, (c) the efficiency of an engine operating in this cycle, and (d) the efficiency of an engine operating in a Carnot cycle between the same temperature extremes.
