I'm having some trouble trying to find the irreversible work done by a perfect gas when expanding. I know that the reversible work is greater than the irreversible one, but how can I find the irreversible work for an isothermal process? The exercise asks me to find the irreversible work fo...
the frictionless motion of solids slow isothermal compression or expansion of gases what are irreversible processes? an irreversible process can be defined as a process in which the system and the surroundings do not return to their original condition once the process is initiated. take an example ...
