    This document discusses the conservation of mass and energy in a closed system of gas in a cylinder. It provides two assumptions: 1) the gas is a closed system, and 2) kinetic and potential energy changes are neglected. It then describes estimating the work done by determining the area under the pressure-volume curve using rectangles, or by finding the best-fit equation and integrating. As an example, it calculates the work done by summing the product of pressure and volume change for each rectangle under the given pressure-volume curve.

    Chapter m - CONSERVATION OF MASS AND ENERGY

    Assumptions: 1) The gas in cylinder is a closed system.

    2) Neglect kinetic and potential energy changes.

    Analysis: The work is estimated by determining the area under the curve connecting the
    data points. This is an estimate in that we do not have a continuous function
    descnbing pressure versus volume, nor do we know if the process is a quasi-
    equilibrium one.

    Finding the area under curve may proceed in several ways: 1) Use rectangles
    (as illustrated) to determine the area; 2) determine the ''best fit" equation
    connecting the points and integrate that.

    The area is found by summing p.w for each rectangle. 1:.. V = 100 cm = 0.000 I
