Question

Write the sign conventions in pressure volume work in

thermodynamics answer for this​

Answer 1

Answer:

I am currently studying from Daniel V. Schroeder's An Introduction to Thermal Physics. I think there is some discrepancy the way he goes from equation 1.28 to equation 1.29. I get the calculus, but I am not following his reasoning.

In 1.28 he mentions that negative sign is being used because the volume is decreasing (and the work is being done on the system). But then in 1.29 he uses the same negative signed formula for a system that is clearly expanding (and hence work is being done by the system) as that can be seen from the graph and the limits used in the integration.
