During adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas, 100J work is done, DeltaE of system is

If the boundary of system moves by an infinitesimal amount, the work involved is given by dw= -P_("ext") dV , for irreversible process W= -P_("ext") Delta V (where Delta V= V_(f) - V_(i) ). For reversible process. P_("ext") = P_("int") +- dP ~= P_("int") , so for reversible isothermal process W = -nRT "In" (V_(f))/(V_(i)) 2 mole of an ideal gas undergoes isothermal compression along three different paths: (i) reversible compression from P_(i) = 2 bar and V_(i) = 8L " to" P_(f) = 20 bar (ii) a single stage compression against a constant external pressure of 20 bar (iii) a two stage compression consisting initially of compression against a constant external pressure of 10 bar until P_("gas") = P_("ext") , followed by compression aganist a constant pressure of 20 bar until P_("gas") = P_("ext") Work done (in bar -L) on the gas in reversible isothermal compression is:
