Work of ideal gas in isobaric process¶

An isobaric process is a process that occurs at constant pressure. The work done by the gas is proportional to the pressure of the gas and its volume change.

Conditions:

The gas is ideal.
The process is isobaric.

work¶: work done by the gas during the isobaric process.

Symbol:: W
Latex:: \(W\)
Dimension:: energy

pressure¶: pressure of the gas, constant during the process.

Symbol:: p
Latex:: \(p\)
Dimension:: pressure

initial_volume¶: Initial volume of the gas.

Symbol:: V_0
Latex:: \(V_{0}\)
Dimension:: volume

final_volume¶: Final volume of the gas

Symbol:: V_1
Latex:: \(V_{1}\)
Dimension:: volume

law¶

W = p * (V_1 - V_0)

Latex:: \[W = p \left(V_{1} - V_{0}\right)\]
