Chapter 2, Problem 2A.7P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The work done by a van der Waals gas during the isothermal reversible expansion has to be calculated.  Also, the indicator diagrams for the isothermal reversible expansion of a perfect gas and a van der Waals gas at different conditions on the same graph has to be plotted.

Concept introduction: In thermodynamics, work is defined as the form of mechanical energy that is transferred from system to another.  Due to the organized motion of atoms, work refers to the energy transfer.  An expression for the work done in an isothermal reversible expansion is,

    dw=pdV
