A) Write the expression for work done in irreversible isothermal expansion of ideal gas |
|
Answer» tion: In calculating the work done in an isothermal irreversible process, why do we CONSIDER the EXTERNAL pressure only (using formula: Wext=PextdV) but not the internal pressure? When the system expands, the internal pressure does the positive work, but EVEN in this scenario, we use the EQUATION as MENTIONED above. |
