Question

A certain fluid at 10bar is contained in a cylinder behind a piston, the initial volume being 0.05m^3. Calculate the work done by the fluid when it expands reversibly: 1. According to a linear law to a final volume of 0.2m^3 and a final pressure of 2 bar. 2 according to a law, p=(A/V^2)-(B/V), to a final volume of 0.1m^3 and a final pressure of 1bar, where A and B are constants. Sketch the processes on a P-V diagram.
