Concept:

p-V diagram: 

  • It is a curve which shows the variation of pressure and volume of a substance. 
  • It is also called an indicator diagram.
  • The shape of the P-V curve depends upon the nature of the thermodynamic process.
  • With the help of a -V diagram one can able to calculate the value of pressure and volume at various instants.

The above-given curve is a thermodynamic cycle as the system attains its initial state after undergoing a series of processes.

The processes in the above thermodynamic cycle are:

  • Process 1-2: Compression process (isentropic compression)
  • Process 2-3: Constant pressure heat rejection process (condensation process)
  • Process 3-4: Throttling process (in this process enthalpy is remain the same)
  • Process 4-1: Constant pressure heat addition process (evaporation process).

Thus, option (4) is the correct answer.
