Referring to the process representation on the p-v diagram shown in Figure 3.2.2-5, it is
noted that heating increases the volume. In other words, the fluid expands. For a perfect
gas, equation 3.20 tells us that an increase in volume will result in corresponding increase
in temperature.
For constant volume process:
W = 0
For constant pressure process:
W = p (V2 – V1)
