3.13. COMPRESSION AND EXPANSION OF GASES
The work term in an energy balance is unlikely to be significant unless a gas is expanded
or compressed as part of the process. To compute the pressure work term:

W D P dv equation 3.5

a relationship between pressure and volume during the expansion is needed.
If the compression or expansion is isothermal (at constant temperature) then for unit
mass of an ideal gas:

Pv D constant 3.28
P 2 RT 1 P 2
and the work done, W D P 1 v 1 ln D ln 3.29
P 1 M P 1
where P 1 D initial pressure,
P 2 D final pressure,
v 1 D initial volume.
In industrial compressors or expanders the compression or expansion path will be
“polytropic”, approximated by the expression:
