According to given statement, the relation showed between volume and pressure not a temperature means T=constant, therefore it is ISO thermal Condition.

Area under the PV diagram gives work. The area for isothermal process is greater than that for adiabatic and isentropic process.

Only isothermal process exists in this question due to expansion process of a gas over a given pressure.

Here in this process temperature and pressure changes with respect to time. So process is isothermal.

Both adiabatic and isentropic are the same process then the alternate is isothermal.

dU = Q+W.

For T = K, dU = CvdT = 0.

-Q = W , hence heat input equals work output.

I think that isentropic process will result maximum work for expansion process.

Temperature is constant pressure is vary inversely proportional to volume.

Debasish said:   9 years ago
No, it is an adiabatic process where work obtainable is maximum.
