9Reversible Processes
We consider a slow expansion followed by a slow
compression within an infinite constant-T heat
reservoir.
Because the process is isothermal, internal
energy is constant and the heat flow into the
cylinder is equal to the work done by the
internal gas.

19Example Problem

You start with a system of one mole of ideal gas,
where the starting conditions of the system are
P20 atm and V2 liters.The system undergoes the
following processes (a) A reversible
expansion to V10 L at constant internal energy
(b) A reversible adiabatic process, ending at
V15 L. (c) A reversible isothermal process,
ending at V3 L. (d) A reversible adiabatic
process ending at P20 atm.
1. Plot and label the processes (a,b,c,d) in P-V
space.

Recall The work for a cycle is given by the
area within the P-V loop.
The work done by the gas is positive for a
clockwise loop.

for the cycle.
Note The heat we compute here is equal to the
work we computed previously. The area of the loop
in S-T space is equal to the area in P-V space.
