A cycle followed by an engine (made of one mole of an ideal gas in a
cylinder with a piston) is shown in the figure. Find heat exchanged by the
engine, with the surroundings for each section of the cycle. [ = (3/2)R]

(a) AB : constant volume
(b) BC : constant pressure
(c) CD : adiabatic
(d) DA : constant pressure
