calculate the work done by a gas as it is taken from the state a to b, b to c and c to a as shown in |
|
Answer» The work done by the gas in the process a to b is the area of adde. This is `W_(ab)=(120kPa)(250_(cc)` `=120xx10^(3)xx250xx10^(-6)J=30J`. In the process c to a the gas is compressed. The volume is decreased and the work done by the gas is negative.the magnitute is equel to the area of caed. this area is cab + baed `=(1)/(2)(20 kPa)(250 cc)+30J` `10J+30J=40J`. Thus, the work done in the process c to a is-40J. |
