A fixed mass of an ideal gas undergoes two different cycles M and N as shown in the Pressure (𝑃) – Volume (𝑉) diagrams. Based on the information provided, which one of the following statements is always TRUE ?
- A. Heat input in Cycle M is equal to heat input in Cycle N
- B. Heat rejected in Cycle M is equal to heat rejected in Cycle N
- C. Net heat transfer in Cycle M is equal to net heat transfer in Cycle N
- D. Thermal efficiency of Cycle M is equal to thermal efficiency of Cycle N
Answer: C. Net heat transfer in Cycle M is equal to net heat transfer in Cycle N
