E the adiabatic compression, and the line ED theexpulsion stroke at the pressure of the receiver. The net workdone by the piston is measured by the area ABED. Had thecompression been along the isotherm BC, the net work done 236 THERMODYNAMICS would be measured by the area ABCD; hence, the excess of… … (8) where the symbols have the same significance as in Art. 176.The work done, during adiabatic compression, is Wi rvx- I pdv: (9) but, since we are now dealing with an adiabatic change, thevalue of dv to be substituted in equation (9) must be deducedfrom the equation Solving for v we find pvn =…
