Q46Short answer
How will you calculate work done on an ideal gas in a compression, when change in pressure is carried out in infinite steps? Fig. : 6.2
Show answer
The work done can be calculated with the help of p–V plot. A p–V plot of the work of compression which is carried out by change in pressure in infinite steps, is given in Fig. 6.7. Shaded area represents the work done on the gas. Fig. : 6.7
