Process ab is adiabatic expansion. So pressure in the process decreases as

P = \frac{k}{V ^{γ}}, (γ > 1)

.
Process bc is straight line passing through origin that means

T = kV

. From ideal gas equation,

T = (\frac{P}{n R}) V

So pressure during the process must be constant.
Process ca is isothermal. Final

p - V

graph will have three sections :
(1) isothermal (2) adiabatic (3) isobaric
