Sec 2.9: Comparing Work/Indicator Diagrams

Sorry...still drawing a bunch of diagrams to help clarify the processes...i will send email when complete.

The following shows a PV diagram, also known as an indicator diagram. The center figure is Fig. 2.7 in your text. The outside "cylinders" are my annotation to clarify the diagram. I have separated the "expansion" (irreversible, isothermal) work from the "compression" (irreversible isothermal) work.

Starting at an initial state (P₁, V₁; red dot), when we remove the weight quickly, but do not allow the system to change volume, we find ourselves in a temporary/fictitious state (P₂, V₁; green dot). The irreversible work is then done under P₁ (P₁ < P₂) ending in the final state (P₁, V₂; yellow dot).
