You will recall that the product of pressure and volume is work.
Recall the term ³pv work´ or ³flow work´
1 Pa x (1 m ï kg) = ?
For m kg, what do we get ?
For M kg s, what do we get?
Consider a p-v diagram. The area in a p-v diagram represents work.
In thermodynamics, we make extensive use of the p-v diagram to see
whether work is got from the system or work is done on it.

1. The cycle does not involve any O Therefore, the working fluid
does not experience any pressure drop as it flows in pipes or
devices such as heat exchangers.

1. The working fluid is air, which continuously circulates in a
closed loop and always behaves as an ideal gas.
2. All the processes that make up the cycle are internally
reversible.
ï. The combustion process is replaced by a heat-addition
process from an external source.
4. The exhaust process is replaced by a heat-rejection
process that restores the working fluid to its initial state.
