Question
How is the work done in a constant-pressure process determined from a $P V$ graph?
Step 1
A constant-pressure process means that the pressure remains constant throughout the process. On a PV graph, this would be represented by a horizontal line, as the pressure does not change. Show more…

A system undergoes a two-step process as sketched in Figure $\mathrm{P} 16.21 .$ The system first expands at constant pressure from state $i$ to state $A$ and then it is compressed with the pressure again held fixed, ending with the system in state $f$. What is the approximate amount of work done by the system during each step?

Pressure and volume of a gas changes from $\left(p_{0}, V_{0}\right)$ to $\left(\frac{p_{0}}{4}, 2 v_{0}\right)$ in a process $p V^{2}=$ constant. Find work done by the gas in the given process.
