Question: An ideal gas expands by two-step process. a. Increase the pressure to p' from p1 at constant volume v1 b. Expand the volume into V2

An ideal gas expands by two-step process.

a. Increase the pressure to p' from p1 at constant volume v1

b. Expand the volume into V2 from V1 via adiabatic process.

State 1 and state 2 exist at temperature T

Please represent the work W2 done by /on the system during the two-step process using V1,p2,V2,r

under what value of p', is W2 maximized?

Calculate the maximum value of W2.

Can you explain this in detail? Thank you so much
