Hi there!
I have to determine the work done of a reversible adiabatic expansion. Becauce the system is adiabatic: Q = 0 so [tex]\Delta[/tex]U = Wrev
Becauce both the pressure and the volume changes I can't use W = pex[tex]\Delta[/tex]V.
Cv, Cp, Ti, Tf, Pi, Pf, Vi, Vf are known
I thought at first that I could use [tex]\Delta[/tex]U = CV.[tex]\Delta[/tex]T but the volume is not constant so I don't know if I could use it.
Who can help me find the right formula?
Thanx in Advance!
