Honors and Mathematical Thermo Assignment notes sample cycle

The sample cycle problem in the Thermo notes is now an assignment, due Monday June 2.

For the sample cycle problem in the notes on thermo use the following:

for work done in an isothermal process
Work done by gas = PinitialV initial x ln (Vfinal/Vinitial)
so work done by gas from D to A = -2.64 x10^7 Joules

and work done by gas from B to C = +1.33 x10^8 Joules

Plug these in and you should be able to do the rest
