uid isplotted as abscissa and thepressure as ordinate, a curve is obtained, which repre-sents, graphically, the law connecting p and v. Such arepresentation is called a PV-diagram. It is evident fromequation (1) that the area bounded by the curve, the «j-axis,and the two vertical lines whose… … Fig. 96. 176 ANALYTICAL MECHANICS is called isothermal, in which case the relation between pand V is given by Boyles law, i.e., pv = k. (2) Substituting in equation (1) the value of p given by equation(2) we obtain = A;log^- (3) 143. Adiabatic Compression of a Gas.—If no exchange ofheat is allowed…
