Ideal gas process internal energy change
Homework Statement A sample of an ideal gas goes through the process shown in Figure P20.32. From A to B, the process is adiabatic; from B to C, it is isobaric with 100 kJ of energy entering the system by heat. From C to D, the process is isothermal; from D to A, it is isobaric with 150 kJ of...- arili

Undergrad Irreversible vs Reversible process
Ok, that makes sense, but I think PV = constant because of PV=nRT in ideal gases?- arili

Undergrad Irreversible vs Reversible process
I know that to calculate the entropy change in a process, I just need to calculate the entropy change in a process that has the initial and final states of the process and is reversible. I just don't understand what the actual difference between the irreversible versus the reversible process is...- arili
