Thermodynamic of Gases

Work done by gas

Work done by gas
Suppose a gas is confined in a cylinder that has a
movable piston at one end. If P be the pressure of the
gas in the cylinder, then force exerted by the gas on the
piston of the cylinder F = PA, where A is area of cross
section of the piston.
