In thermodynamics,the $P-V$ work done is given by $w = -\int P_{ext} dV$. For a system undergoing a particular process,the work done is $w = -\int \left(\frac{RT}{V - b} - \frac{a}{V^2}\right) dV$. This equation is applicable to a:

  • A
    $A$ System that satisfies the van der Waals equation of state.
  • B
    $B$ Process that is reversible and isothermal.
  • C
    $C$ Process that is reversible and adiabatic.
  • D
    $D$ Process that is irreversible and at constant pressure.
