CONSTANT PRESSURE
IN TRODUCTION TO CONSTANT PRESSURE
For an ideal gas at constant pressure, it takes more heat to achieve the same temperature
change than it does at constant volume. At constant volume all the heat added goes into
raising the temperature. At constant pressure some of the heat goes to doing work.
Q = nCPT
For an ideal gas, applying the First Law of Thermodynamics tells us that heat is also equal
to:
Q = Eint + W
At constant pressure W = PV = nRT

BOYLE’S LAW:
Boyles Law Formula. Boyle's Law, an ideal gas law which states that the volume of an
ideal gas is inversely proportional to its absolute pressure at a constant temperature. The
law applies only to ideal gases which allow only pressure and volume to change.
CHARLE’S LAW;
Charles' Law is a special case of the ideal gas law. It states that the volume of a fixed
mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature. This law applies to ideal gases
held at a constant pressure, where only the volume and temperature are allowed to
change.
Charle’S law:
Vi/Ti = Vf/Tf
where
Vi = initial volume
Ti = initial absolute temperature
Vf = final volume
Tf = final absolute temperature
