Change of internal energy during linear transformation
A linear transformation is described by: $$p=a-bV$$ From that we can find $a$ and $b$: $$b=\frac{p_{2}-p_{1}}{V_{1}-V_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}\frac{p_{1}}{V_{1}}$$ $$a=p_{1}+bV_{1}=\frac{11}{9}p_{1}$$ I considered an adiabatic process that intersects the linear transformation to find the point up...- TheEyeOfInnos
