Maximum work that could be secured by expanding the gas over a given pressure range is the __________ work.
A. Isothermal
B. Adiabatic
C. Isentropic
D. None of these
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The isentropic process is nothing but reversible adiabatic process since between the isothermal and adiabatic process the isothermal process has maximum area under $$P-V$$ diagram the isothermal process will have maximum work done during expansion. Since the slope of $$p-v$$ plot for adiabatic process is greater than isothermal process.Related Questions on Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
