Concept explainers
Given the data below, find the isothermal work done on the gas as it is compressed from 23 L to 3 L
V, L | 3 | 8 | 13 | 18 | 23 |
P, atm | 12.5 | 3.5 | 1.8 | 1.4 | 1.2 |
(a) Find the work performed on the gas numerically, using the 1-, 2-, and 4-segment trapezoidal rule.
(b) Compute the ratios of the errors in these estimates and relate them to the error analysis of the multiple-application trapezoidal rule discussed in Chap. 21.
