19 - Question 13 - Thermodynamics - Post by Kambiz Ehsani - 5/5/2018 - Solved

Consider a balloon with the initial internal pressure of P1 when the outside pressure is P0. If air is pumped so that the internal balloon pressure becomes P2, Find the work of system on the surrounding.

Solution:
Assuming the air is the ideal gas and neglect the heat transfer. Therefore the Pv = m RT, since the P is not changing, the work will be applied to increase the volume from V1 to V2 therefore the work will be :
1W2 = P0 (V2 -V1)
