Isothermal Reversible Expansion. An isothermal process is a process which is conducted in a manner such that the temperature remains constant during the entire operation. Consider an ideal gas confined in a cylinder with a frictionless piston. In the isothermal compression of a gas there is work done on the system to decrease the volume and increase the pressure. Doing work on the gas increases the internal energy and will tend to increase the temperature. To maintain the constant temperature energy must leave the system as heat and enter the environment.

Answer:
During the derivation for the work done in isothermal reversible expansion of an ideal gas, the following expression appears. dW=(P−dP)dV=PdV+dP⋅dV.
