Adiabatic process
PV^γ = constant; W = (P₁V₁ − P₂V₂)/(γ − 1)
Where: P₁ = P₁, P₂ = P₂, V₁ = V₁, V₂ = V₂, W = work (J) / weight (N), γ = γ
Solved example
Given: P_1 = 7, P_2 = 5, V_1 = 10, V_2 = 4, gamma = 3
Find: W (work (J) / weight (N))
- Formula: W = (P₁·V₁ - P₂·V₂)/(γ - 1)
- Substitute the values: W = (10·7 - 4·5)/(3 - 1)
- Result: W = 25
Answer: W = 25
