Thermodynamics Question 184
Which of the following is correct in terms of increasing work done for the same initial and final states
[RPMT 1996]
Options:
A) Adiabatic < Isobaric < Isothermal
B) Isobaric < Isothermal < Adiabatic
C) Adiabatic < Isothermal < Isobaric
D) None of these
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
In thermodynamic process, work done is equal to the area under the PV curve with respect to the volume axis. Hence, according to graph shown $ W _{adiabatic}<W _{isothermal}<W _{isobaric} $
