If one mole of an ideal gas at (P1 V1) is allowed to expand reversibly and isothermally (A to B) its pressure is reduced to one- half of the original pressure (see figure). This is followed by a constant volume cooling till its pressure is reduced to one-fourth of the initial value (B ® C). Then it is restored to its initial state by a reversible adiabatic compression (C to A). The net work done by the gas is equal to:
