Consider an ideal diatomic gas that performs a reversible thermodynamic cycle that consists of a succession of the following transformations.
A → B: isobar expansion from volume VA to the volume VB = 2 · VA;
B → C: isochoric transformation;
C → D: isobar expansion up to the volume VD = 3 · VA;
D → A: isothermal compression that closes the cycle.
Calculate the efficiency of this reversible cycle
