Question
Pi, Vi are initial pressure and volumes and Vf is final volume of a gas in a thermodynamic process respectively. If PVn = constant, then the amount of work done by gas is : (γ = Cp/Cv).
Assume same, initial state & same final volume in all processes.
Assume same, initial state & same final volume in all processes.
Options
A.minimum for n = γ
B.minimum for n = 1
C.minimum for n = 0
D.minimum for n = 1/γ
Solution
(A)
For larger n, pressure will be smaller, so work done will be smaller for larger n.
For larger n, pressure will be smaller, so work done will be smaller for larger n.
