a) the expansion takes place at constant temperature
b) the expansion takes place at constant pressure
Plot the P-V diagram for each case. In which of the two cases, is the work done by the gas more?
Answer:
The initial state of a certain gas is Pi, Vi, Ti. It undergoes expansion till its volume becomes Vf. Consider the following two cases:
