[QUOTE="Eldorin, post: 4480027, member: 485984"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A particular gas is enclosed in a cylinder with a moveable piston. It is observed that if the walls are adiabatic, a quasi-static increase in volume results in a decrease in pressure according to the equation a ) Find the quasi-static work done on the system and the net heat transfer to the system in each of the three processes (ADB, ACB, and the direct linear process AB ) as shown in the figure. In the process ADB the gas is heated at constant pressure ( P = 10^5 Pa) until its volume increases from its initial value of 10^-3 m^3 to its final value of 8e-3 m^3. The gas is then cooled at constant volume until its pressure decreases to 10^5/32 Pa. The other processes (ACB and AB) can be similarly interpreted, according to the figure. P^3*V^5 =Constant for Q=0 I am currently only having trouble with the part with the direct linear process AB. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] dQ = δU - δW W = -PdV [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] When it says it is directly linear, I took that to mean the following: P*V = Px*Vx Where Px and Vx are the initial pressure and volume. From there I integrated the work equation and got the following: W = -Px*Vx*ln(Vb/Va). I then did the same thing with the P^3*V^5 = Constant equation, but when I used these, as worked with the previous parts. My answers did not match the ones given in the book (W = - 360.9 J and Q = 248.4J) I appreciate any help, thanks! [/QUOTE]
