A diatomic ideal gas is heated at constant volume until the
pressure is doubled and again heated at constant pressure until volume
is doubled. Find out the average molar heat capacity for whole process.

Show answer and solution
Let initial pressure, volume, temperature be P_0, V_0, T_0
indicated by state A in P-V diagram. The gas is then isochorically taken
to state B (2P_0, V_0, 2T_0) and then taken from state B to state C
(2P_0, V_0, 4T_0) isobarically
