Clockwise loop in P-V diagram shows work is done by
system, Work done by system in a cycle requires net heat
addition to system. This is area of 7-5 diagram. The loop
in T-S diagram has to clockwise as it would then mean net
heat added to system in eycle which in turn produces net
work from system. Hence, both P-V’ and T-S loops have to
