A thermodynamic system undergoes cyclic process ABCDA as shown in fig. The work done by the system in the cycle is:

Option A \quad \mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}

Option B \quad 2 \mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}

Option C \frac{\mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}}{2}

Option D zero

Correct Option is D

Solution:

Work done by the system in the cycle can be given as,

Area under P-V curve & V – axis

For clockwise work, done is positive

For anticlockwise work, done is negative

\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{ADEA}}=+\frac{1}{2}\left(2 \mathrm{P}_{0}-\mathrm{P}_{0}\right)\left(2 \mathrm{~V}_{0}-\mathrm{V}_{0}\right)

\mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{EBCE}}=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(3 \mathrm{P}_{0}-2 \mathrm{P}_{0}\right)\left(2 \mathrm{~V}_{0}-\mathrm{V}_{0}\right)

=\frac{\mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}}{2}-\frac{\mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}}{2}=0
