Explanation
When a solid melts , the number of accessible microstates increases, and thus entropy increases.
Upon heating at constant pressure volume of gas increases form K→L . Then on cooling at constant volume , pressure decreases from L → M. Later again at constant pressure volume decrease from M→N . Then at the end , at constant volume , pressure of gas increases form N→K.
An isochoric process, also called a constant-volume process, an isovolumetric process, or an isometric process, is a thermodynamic process during which the volume of the closed system undergoing such a process remains constant.
Upon heating at constant pressure volume of gas increases form K→L. Then on cooling at constant volume, pressure decreases from L → M. Later again at constant pressure volume decrease from M→N. Then at the end, at constant volume, pressure of gas increases form N→K.
When a system returns to its original state after completing a series of changes, then it is known that a cycle is completed. This process is known as cyclic process. In a cyclic process the initial and the final state is same. As the internal energy U of the system depends only on the state of the system so in a cyclic process the net change of internal energy, ∆U will be equal to zero i.e. ∆U = 0. Hence from the first law(∆U=Q+W)
Hence, Q= – W
