Everything about Cyclic Process totally explained
A
thermodynamic cycle is a series of
thermodynamic processes which returns a system to its initial state.
Properties depend only on the
thermodynamic state and thus don't change over a cycle. Variables such as
heat and
work are not zero over a cycle, but rather are process dependent. The
first law of thermodynamics dictates that the net heat input is equal to the net work output over any cycle. The repeating nature of the process path allows for continuous operation, making the cycle an important concept in
thermodynamics. Thermodynamic cycles often use
quasistatic processes to model the workings of actual devices
A thermodynamic cycle is a closed loop on a
P-V diagram. A P-V diagrams
X axis shows volume (
V) and
Y axis shows pressure (
P). The area enclosed by the loop is the work (
W) done by the process:

Q.E.D.
Conclusion
The fact that entropy is a state function is what puts
entropy on the map (the P-V diagram).
