Question
Figure demonstrates a poly tropic process (i.e. PVn = constant) for an ideal gas. The work done by the gas will be in process AB is
Options
A.
P0V0
P0V0B.
P0V0
P0V0C.8 P0V0
D.insufficient information
Solution
For a poly tropic process PVn = constant ⇒ 16 P0V0n = P0(2V0)n ⇒ n = 4
Work done =
Work done =
