For a thermodynamic process, the pressure, volume and temperature are related as P = 
where α is a positive constant. The work done by this system in a constant pressure process is KαT 0 2 , if the temperature changes from T 0 to 2T 0 . Determine K.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(3)
PV = α T 2 PdV + VdP = 2 α TdT
as pressure is constant
dP = 0
PdV = 2 α TdT
W = 
= 
= 3 α
