The formula for work in thermodynamics is given by PV=W. Suppose that at any pressure, P=h(V+Vo-1) where V is the volume and Vo is the initial volume. h and Vo are constants. If work is to be maximized, what is the correct expression of maximum work in terms of constants?
When an ideal gas undergoes a quasistatic adiabatic
volume change, its pressure p and volume V are related by
PVY
= a constant, where y is the ratio of the molar specific
heats for the gas. Start from the first law of thermodynamics,
present a proof of this equation.
1.50 moles of a monatomic ideal gas goes isothermally from state 1 to state 2. P1 = 2.8×105 Pa, V1 = 88 m3, and P2 = 6.6×105 Pa. What is the volume in state 2, in m3?
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
