Cyclic Process

Definition
Any thermodynamic process, in which any system goes from an initial state to a final state and then, returns back to the initial state, is called a cyclic process.
The net energy change in a cyclic process is zero. In this process since ΔU = 0.
            From first law of thermodynamics, ΔQ = W
            Thus in a cyclic process, the heat absorbed by the system is equal to the net work  done by the system.
Explanation 
Let us consider that a system changes from state A to state B, then back to state A again. For the change from A to B , ΔU1=Ub-Ua and for the change from B to A, ΔU2=Ua-Ub. The total energy change, ΔUtotal=ΔU1-ΔU2=(UB-Ua)+(Ua-Ub)=0
For a cyclic process, ΔH must also be zero as H is a state function.
