Regarding Joule's gas expansion experiment

[QUOTE="MichaelWiteman, post: 6005373, member: 646310"] Chestermiller, thank you for your reply! I understand now were my logic broke. I was fixated on the the gas that is expanding in the left chamber and ignored the gas in the right chamber, which is being compressed as the system equilibrates, and thus the overall work in the system is zero. This should had been obvious since the system doesn't change volume. There is a similar experiment (Joule-Thomson) which was used to measure these small temperature changes in the compression/expansion of real gases. Thank you for your patience in explaining these basics! Sincerely Mike [/QUOTE]
