Question:
Consider an ideal-gas fixed-mass system undergoing a quasi-equilibrium (reversible) process. Which of the following statements are true? Explain your answer in each case.
A. On a pressure–volume plot, a constant-temperature process is represented by a hyperbola.
B. On a pressure–volume plot, a constant-temperature process is represented by a straight line with a positive slope.
C. On a pressure–volume plot, the area under the line representing the process is the work done on or by the system.
D. On a temperature–volume plot, a constant-pressure process is represented by a hyperbola.
E. On a temperature–volume plot, a constant-pressure process is represented by a straight line with a positive slope.
F. The moving-boundary work associated with a constant-volume process is zero.
