QUESTION:

Calculate the work done by an ideal gas in going from state  to state  in Fig.  for each of the following processes: (a) , and  directly.

ANSWER:

Solution 61GP

Part (a)

Step 1 of 3:

We are given the work done by the ideal gas from A to C. Our aim here is to find the work done by the gas during the process ADC.

The work done during the path ADC is written by

The work done Wdc is zero as the volume is constant. Therefore  

The work done for this constant pressure process is the area under the curve.

This is the expression for the work done during the process ADC.
