The pressure-volume of various thermodynamic process is shown in graphs:

Work is the mole of transference of energy. It has been observed that reversible work done by the system is the maximum obtainable work.
`w_(rev) gt w_(irr)`
The works of isothermal and adiabatic processes are different from each other.
`w_("isothermal reversible") = 2.303 nRT log_(10) ((V_(2))/(V_(1)))`
`= 2.303 nRT log_(10)((P_(2))/(P_(1)))`
`w_("adiabatic reversible") = C_(V) (T_(1)-T_(2))`
If `w_(1),w_(2),w_(3)` and `w_(4)` are work done in isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric, and isochoric reversible processes, respectively then the correct sequence (for expansion) would be

Options

A. `w_(2)gtw_(1)gtw_(3)`
B. `w_(2)gtw_(3)gtw_(1)`
C. `w_(1)gtw_(2)gtw_(3)`
D. `w_(1)gtw_(3)gtw_(2)`

Answer

D

Explanation

Work done in isothermal reversible process is maximum.
