PV Diagram

September 11, 2014

This is a reversible thermometric demonstrator.

The class began will an demonstration showing how the heat can transfer from one side of the apparatus to the other.

This set up is used to demonstrate how the P-V diagram works.

This graph shows and proves that the process cannot be isothermal, isobaric, or isochoric.

These are the values of the graph, which shows how the non of the values remained constant.

These value are rewritten values from the PV diagram

The pictures on top and bottom show the work done by the system.

This solution shows the specific heat when pressure is constant in terms of R.

These equations are used to prove that P minus V^gama is an constant for an adiabatic expansion

This calculation shows the relationship between temperature and volume in an adiabatic process.

Given the relationship of pressure and volume in an adiabatic process, we calculated how the relationship of pressure and volume to solve for an equation to find work in an adiabatic process.

Some calculations were added on the left side of the white board solving a question from the lab manual.

This shows how the Carnot cycle is analyzed. Calculating the change in internal energy, work and heat, and also the efficiency of the system.
