Work is integral of pressure over volume ======================================== The pressure-volume work is the work done by a thermodynamic system when the volume of the system changes. **Conditions:** #. The process is reversible or quasi-static. #. The system is closed. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.laws.thermodynamics.work_is_integral_of_pressure_over_volume .. py:data:: work Pressure-volume :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.basic.work` done by the system.
