A cylinder contains an ideal gas at the temperature of 300 K and is closed by a movable piston. The gas, which is initially at a pressure of 3 atm occupying a volume of 30 L, expands isothermally to a volume of 80 L. The gas is then compressed isobarically, returning to its initial volume of 30 L. Calculate the work done by gas: a) in isothermal expansion; b) in isobaric compression, c) in the whole process; and d) Calculate...

When gas expands in a cylinder with radius r, the pressure P at any given time is a function of the volume V: P = P(V). The force exerted by the gas on the piston (see the figure) is the product of the pressure and the area: F = πr2P. The work done by the gas when the volume expands from volume V1 to volume V2 is W = V2 P dV V1 . In a steam engine the pressure...
