A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure $P_{1} = 10^{5} P a$ and volume $V_{i} = 10^{- 3} m^{3}$ changes to final state at $P_{f} = \frac{1}{32} \times 10^{5} p a & V_{f} = 8 \times 10^{- 3} m^{3}$ in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that $P^{3} V^{5} =$ constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system form the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at $P_{i}$ followed by an isochoric (is volumetric) process at volume $V_{f}$ . The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two-step process is approximately
