Difference between Pdv and Vdp
(Or) Difference between close
system work and open system work
Hello guys,
I was also irritated from
these two terms during college time.
These
two terms are coming from work done used in the equation of first law of
thermodynamics.
dW = F.ds = (p.A).ds = p.(A.ds) =
p.dV (close system)
Here,
pressure remains constant while volume changes throughout the process.This equation is
valid for a closed system which doesn’t support mass transfer.
For example, a
piston-cylinder arrangement.
For an open-flow
process, the same equation turns out to be
dW=V.dp(opensystem)
Here
volume remains same but pressure changes.
Fore example,
hydraulic pump
For closed system
work, it is area just below the p-V curve up to V-axis.
