Peabody, Cecil H. (Cecil Hobart), 1855-1934 · New York, J. Wiley & sons; [etc., etc.] · leaf 30
enting change of intrinsic energy byaid of isodynamic lines avoids an infinite diagram. Supposethe change of state to be represented by thecurve ^^ (Fig. 9). Draw an isodynamicline AC through the point A, and an adia-batic line BC through B, intersecting at C;in general the isoenergic fine is… … pv const. Then the area ABba represents the external work, and the areabBCc represents the change of intrinsic energy; for if the body beallowed to expand adiabatically till the intrinsic energy is reducedto its original amount at the condition represented by A theexternal work bBCc will be done at…
