One mole of an ideal monoatomic gas undergo a thermodynamic cyclic process ABCDA as shown in internal energy (U) and density () graph.
The corresponding temperature (T) versus pressure (p) graph is
(a) Here, AB and CD are isothermal and BC and DA are isochoric . Now it is easier to draw T-p graph for the given situation. AB and CD isothermal process, in AB volume increases and in CD volume decreases, BC and DA that constant volume process So. p –T graph straight line passes through origin.
