CYCLIC PROCESS
• The process in which the initial and final states are the same is
known as a cyclic process.
• Applying the first law of thermodynamics
to a cyclic process ,we get
FORMULA FOR CYCLIC PROCESS:
• Because the internal energy is a state variable in the cyclic process,
∆U=0,
i.e., the internal change is zero. Internal energies are equal at the start
and at the end.
• When we apply the first law of thermodynamics to a cyclic process, we
get the following formula:
∆Q=∆U+W
• Since, ∆U=0 ∆Q=W
P-V DIAGRAM FOR CYCLIC PROCESS:
A closed curve represents the cyclic process in the PV diagram.
WORK DONE IN CYCLE PROCESS:
In a cyclic process, since the system returns to its initial state, the change in internal energy
must be zero. Therefore, by first law of thermodynamics, the net heat given to the system
must be equal to the net work done by the system.
