Help pls....

Why is it so? |work done in reversible process|>|work done in irreversible process|

@mayankdevnani @priyar @imqwerty @parthkohli pls...help

Parth (parthkohli):

Haha damn this. Reversible processes always keep p-V in equilibrium with surroundings. Try making a PV diagram to find out what's happening.

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Hold on!!! so u also want to say dat d final pressure in case of reversible process bcums d constant extrnal presdure for irreversible procesd....

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

Pressure*

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

N if dis is not d case den how r we gonna compare d two areas one for reversible n other for irreversible...

OpenStudy (samigupta8):

@parthkohli pls...tell me ...d way

OpenStudy (priyar):

reversible process is always carried out very slowly..so we can say that eqbm is attained in each and every step...so the pressure is gonna drop step by step unlike the irreversible process where the pressure suddenly drops to the atmospheric pressure...so area under the PV graph for irreversible process is just a rectangle..whereas for the reversible process it will be the full area under the PV curve..

OpenStudy (priyar):

now got it? @samigupta8
