Thermodynamics - Result Question 14
15. An ideal gas is compressed to half its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?
[2015 RS]
(a) Isobaric
(b) Isochoric
(c) Isothermal
(d) Adiabatic
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 15. (d)
Solution:
- (d)
$\Rightarrow$
Since area under the curve is maximum for adiabatic process so, work done $(W=PdV)$ on the gas will be maximum for adiabatic process.
