Introduction

  1. Isothermal expansion: Heat is transferred from the hot reservoir to the gas.
  2. Isentropic (reversible adiabatic) expansion
  3. Isothermal compression
  4. Isentropic compression

Ideal Gas

  1. Isothermal compression: T is constant, thus we have cons /T.

Air

Adiabatic index is for the air 7/5.
