An ideal gas is compressed to half of its initial volume by means of several processes. Which of the process results in the maximum work done on the gas?
  1. Isobaric
  2. Isochoric
  3. Isothermal
  4. Adiabatic

Solution


Since area under the curve is maximum for the adiabatic process so work done on the gas will be maximum for the adiabatic process. *
