When air enters into an evacuated bottle from atmosphere when the cork is opened, is there any work done by the air? My textbook says that there is , but i thought no work was done during free expansion?
Consider the amount of air entering as the system.
Moreover, is W=∫PdV applicable only for quasi eqbm process or all processes?
