QUESTION:

An ideal gas has the pressure and volume indicated by point I in  Figure 18–29.  At this point its temperature is \(T_{1}\). The temperature of the gas can be increased to \(T_{2}\) by using the constant-volume process, \(I \rightarrow I I\), or the constant-pressure process, \(I \rightarrow I I I\). Is the entropy change for the process \(I \rightarrow I I\) greater than, less than, or equal to the entropy change on the process \(I \rightarrow I I I\)? Explain.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

We have to find out whether the change in entropy is more in a constant volume process or in a constant pressure process if both processes lead to the same final temperature of the system.

The equation for the change in entropy is,

 --------------------(1)

Where,  - Change in heat

              - temperature of the system

The equation for the work done in a thermodynamic process is,

Where,  - Pressure

              - Change in volume

The change in internal energy of the system,

Where,  - heat energy added to the system

              - Work done by the system
