An ideal gas at initial temperature $T_0$ and initial volume $V_0$ is expanded adiabatically to a volume $2 V_0$. The gas is then expanded isothermally to a volume $5 V_0$ and thereafter compressed adiabatically so that the temperature of the gas becomes again $T_0$. If the final volume of the gas is $\alpha V_0$,then the value of constant $\alpha$ is

An ideal gas is compressed isothermally until its pressure is doubled and then allowed to expand adiabatically to regain its original volume ($\gamma = 1.4$ and $2^{-1.4} = 0.38$). The ratio of the final to initial pressure is (in $: 1$)

$A$ cycle followed by an engine (made of one mole of perfect gas in a cylinder with a piston) is shown in the figure.
$A$ to $B$: volume constant
$B$ to $C$: adiabatic
$C$ to $D$: volume constant
$D$ to $A$: adiabatic
$V_C = V_D = 2V_A = 2V_B$
$(a)$ In which part of the cycle is heat supplied to the engine from outside?
$(b)$ In which part of the cycle is heat given to the surrounding by the engine?
$(c)$ What is the work done by the engine in one cycle? Write your answer in terms of $P_A, P_B, V_A$.
$(d)$ What is the efficiency of the engine?
