Answer 1

A) Carnot cycle is a full cycle of four steps

Step 1 : Isothermal expansion (P1, V1, T1) to (P2, V2, T1)

Step 2 : Adiabatic expansion (P2, V2, T1) to (P3, V3, T2)

Step 3 : Isothermal compression (P3, V3, T2) to (P4, V4, T2)

Step 4 : Adiabatic compression (P4, V4, T2) to (P1, V1, T1)

C) Table

Step 1 : Isothermal expansion (P1, V1, T1) to (P2, V2, T1)

dH = 0

dU = 0

w = -nRT1ln(V2/V1)

q = -w

Step 2 : Adiabatic expansion (P2, V2, T1) to (P3, V3, T2)

q = 0

w = Cv(T2 - T1)

dU = w

dH = Cp(T2 - T1)

Step 3 : Isothermal compression (P3, V3, T2) to (P4, V4, T2)

dH = 0

dU = 0

w = -nRT2ln(V4/V3)

q = -w

Step 4 : Adiabatic compression (P4, V4, T2) to (P1, V1, T1)

q = 0

w = Cv(T1 - T2)

dU = w

dH = Cp(T1 - T2)

Total,

Sum of all w's, q's, dU's and dH's
