question- find the net work done.
Answers
Question :
An ideal gas undergoes cyclic process ABCDA as shown in given P-V diagram. The amount of work done by the gas is..
Solution :
❖ In thermodynamic process, work done is measured as the product of pressure and change in volume.
A] Work - 1 (AB) :
➙ W₁ = (P。- 2P。) (V。- V。)
➙ W₁ = 0
B] Work - 2 (BC) :
➙ W₂ = P。(3V。- V。)
➙ W₂ = 2P。V。
C] Work - 3 (CD) :
➙ W₃ = (2P。- P。) (V。- V。)
➙ W₃ = 0
D] Work - 4 (DA) :
➙ W₄ = 2P。(V。- 3V。)
➙ W₄ = 2P。(-2V。)
➙ W₄ = -4P。V。
Net work done;
➠ W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄
➠ W = 0 + 2P。V。+ 0 - 4P。V。
➠ W = -2P。V。
