QUESTION:
How much work is done on the gas in the process shown in Figure EX17.2?
Figure EX17.2
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Our aim is to find the work done by the gas during the process specified in the PV diagram.
The initial volume \(V_{1}=100 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}=0.001 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\)
The final volume \(V_{2}=300 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}=0.003 \mathrm{~m}^{3}\)
The pressure at the given process \(\mathrm{P}=400 \mathrm{kPa}=400 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~Pa}\)
