n mole of a perfect gas undergoes a cyclic process ABCA (see figure) consisting of the following processes.

AB: Isothermal expansion at temperature T so that the volume is doubled from V1 to V2=2V1 and pressure changes from P1 to P2
BC: Isobaric compression at pressure P2 to initial volume V1.

CA: Isochoric change leading to change of pressure from P2 to P1

Total work done in the complete cycle ABCA is:
