Thermodynamic Processes
A sample of gas expands from volume to . The amount of work done by the gas is greatest, when the expansion is
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- Work done = area under the - curve between and .
- Starting from the same state, the isobaric line stays highest, then the isothermal curve, and the adiabatic curve falls fastest.
- So the answer is (d) isobaric.
