Consider the expansion of a gas at a constant temperature in a water-cooled piston-cylinder system. the constant temperature is achieved by controlled input of energy as heat q to the gas. treating the gas as idea, derive expressions for the energy output as work, w and energy input as heat, q, as a function of the expansion ratio. (v2/v1)

Explanation:

According to the first thermodynamic law, the energy must be conserved so:

Where Q is the heat transmitted to the system, U is the internal energy and W is the work done by the system.

This equation can be solved by integration between an initial and a final state:

(1)

As per work definition:

For pressure the force F equials the pressure multiplied by the area of the piston, and considering dx as the displacement:

Here A*dx equals the differential volume of the piston, and considering that any increment in volume is a work done by the system, the sign is negative, so:

So the third integral in equation (1) is:

Considering the gas as ideal, the pressure can be calculated as , so:

In this particular case as the systems is closed and the temperature constant, n, R and T are constants:

Replacion this and solving equation (1) between state 1 and 2:

The internal energy depends only on the temperature of the gas, so there is no internal energy change , so the heat exchanged to the system equals the work done by the system:
