Serway & Jewett β The First Law of Thermodynamics: Problem 40.
One mole of an ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a movable piston. The initial pressure, volume, and temperature are \(P_i\), \(V_i\), and \(T_i\), respectively. Find the work done on the gas in the following processes. In operational terms, describe how to carry out each process and show each process on a \(PV\) diagram. (a) an isobaric compression in which the final volume is one-half the initial volume (b) an isothermal compression in which the final pressure is four times the initial pressure (c) an isovolumetric process in which the final pressure is three times the initial pressure
