$\delta \Phi \;T = \delta\,q$

(3)

At Constant Volume:-

$\delta \Phi = \frac{w\,C_V\,dt}{T}$

(4)

$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi _1 = \int_{T_1}^{T_2}\frac{w\;C_V\,dt}{T}$

(5)

$= wC_V\;Ln\frac{T_2}{T_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;w\;C_V\;ln\frac{P_2}{P^1}$

(6)

At Constant Pressure

$\delta \Phi = \frac{w\;C_P\;dt}{T}$

(7)

$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi _1 = \int_{T_1}^{T_2}\;w\;C_P\;dt$

(8)

$= w\;C_P\;Ln\frac{T_2}{T_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;w\;C_P\;Ln\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

(9)

For an Isothermal Operation

$Heat\;Supplied = Work\;Done + \delta\,U\,( Constant)$

(10)

$= P\;\delta \,V$

(11)

$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\delta \Phi = \frac{p\delta V}{T} = w\;R\;\frac{dv}{V}$

(12)

$Thus\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi_1 = w\,R\,Ln\frac{V_2}{V_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;w\,R\,Ln\frac{P_1}{P_2}$

(13)

Entropy For An Irreversible Operation

Consider a gas changing from $\inline P_1V_1T_1\;to\;P_2V_2T_2$ . Now since the Function of State depends upon the values of P:V:&T at 1 & 2 and is independent of the process.

Stage 1

$\Phi _a - \Phi _1 = wC_V\;Ln\;\frac{T_a}{T_1}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;wC_V\;Ln\;\frac{P_2}{P_1}$

(14)

$\Phi _2 - \Phi _a = wC_P\;Ln\;\frac{T_2}{T_a}\;\;\;\;\;or\;\;\;\;\;wC_V\;Ln\;\frac{V_2}{V_1}$

(15)

$\therefore\;\;\;\;\;\Phi _2 - \Phi _1 = w\left( C_P\;Ln\;\frac{P_2}{P_1} + C_V\;Ln\;\frac{V_2}{V_1} \right)$

Sketching Operations On P.v. And T.$\phi$ Graphs

NOTE

The Area under the curve on a P.V. graph is the Work Done

The Area under the curve on a T. $\inline \Phi$ graph is the heat Supplied
