Construct a Carnot PV-cycle for an ideal gas with high temperature Thigh and low temperature Tlow. Remember that the top and bottom legs are isotherms (constant temperature), so PV=NkT for the start and endpoints of those legs. The side legs must satisfy the condition that Delta(Q)=0. For your cycle, estimate 1) the work done for each step (it will be helpful to have a piece of graph paper), 2) the change in internal (heat) energy, 3) the total sum of Work done plus change in internal energy over the entire cycle, 4) calculate the efficiency of the cycle from epsilon=1-T(low)/T(high)
