Heat and Thermal ExpansionHard

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
B.P0V0
C.8 P0V0
D.insufficient information

Solution

For a poly tropic process PVn = constant ⇒ 16 P0V0n = P0(2V0)n ⇒ n = 4
Work done =
