A gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a movable frictionless piston. Its initial thermodynamic state at pressure changes to a final state at in an adiabatic quasi-static process, such that constant. Consider another thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two steps: an isobaric expansion at followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volumes . The amount of heat supplied to the system in the two step process is approximately
