A cycle followed by an engine (made of one mole of perfect gas in a cylinder with a piston) is shown in figure. A to B volume constant, B to C adiabatic, C to D volume constant and D to A adiabatic `\" \"V_(C)=V_(D)=2V_(A) = 2V_(B)` (a) In which part of the cycle heat is supplied to the engine form outside? (b) In which part of the cycle heat is being given to the surrounding by the engine ? (c ) What is the work done by the engine in one cycle ? Write your answer in term of `p_(A),p_(B),V_(A)` ? (d) What is the efficiency of the engine ? `\" \"(gamma=(5)/(3)` for the gas`)`, `(C_(V)= (3)/(2)R` for one mole `)`
