Proving Parallel Isothermal Lines: No Pressure Volume Values Given The two isotherms are not parallel but, as Curious has shown, they do not intersect To show that they are not parallel, draw two arbitrary horizontal lines between them These represent lines where P=constant If they are parallel isotherms, these isobars would be the same length (the length representing change in volume)
Calculate area of PV diagram. Two isotherms, two isobars The discussion revolves around calculating the area of a PV diagram featuring two isotherms and two isobars Participants express confusion over the cancellation of work done in isothermal and isobaric processes, particularly regarding the impact of differing temperatures and pressures
Empirical temperature scales using different thermometers A temperature scale is a set of rules for assigning one number to a set of corresponding isotherms, and a different number to a different set of corresponding isotherms Once this assignment of temperatures is made, the necessary and sufficient condition for thermal equilibrium between two systems is that they have the same temperature
What does limit of zero pressure mean for ideal gas temperature? The original reasoning started with isotherms, ie a relationship between two independent variables P and V along a curve on which PV is constant What does it mean to say that this relationship is strictly true in the limit where, as I understand it, pressure is fixed at zero?
Whcih isotherm has higher temperature? - Physics Forums To determine which isotherm represents a higher temperature, one must analyze the P-V diagram where the product of pressure and volume (P*V) indicates temperature levels Although the areas of rectangles formed by P and V may appear equal, differences in the number of moles (n) can lead to varying temperatures The correct interpretation is that as one moves up and to the right on the P-V
Relationship between pressure and volume • Physics Forums The discussion revolves around the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas under isothermal conditions Participants analyze the implications of the Ideal Gas Law, particularly regarding the mass of gas represented by two different isothermal curves It is clarified that if the temperature is constant for both curves, then the mass associated with the higher pressure curve
Help with isotherms and adiabatic curves - Physics Forums This is to help me understand a problem in the book, I don't want to state the question I'm attempting to solve though I would rather just get a nudge in the right direction conceptually (I am analyzing an isotherm and adiabatic curve at the same point ) My book states that for an ideal gas
