Thermodynamics · Work in single and multistage processes

Arrange the following isothermal processes in order of the magnitude of the work (pp – VV) involved between states 1 and 2.
  • (A)Expansion in single stage wAw_\mathrm{A}
  • (B)Expansion in multi stages wBw_\mathrm{B}
  • (C)Compression in single stage wCw_\mathrm{C}
  • (D)Compression in multi stages wDw_\mathrm{D}
  1. (1)∣wB∣>∣wA∣>∣wC∣>∣wD∣\lvert w_\mathrm{B}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{A}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{C}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{D}\rvert
  2. (2)∣wC∣>∣wD∣>∣wA∣>∣wB∣\lvert w_\mathrm{C}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{D}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{A}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{B}\rvert
  3. (3)∣wC∣>∣wD∣>∣wB∣>∣wA∣\lvert w_\mathrm{C}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{D}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{B}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{A}\rvert
  4. (4)∣wB∣>∣wA∣>∣wD∣>∣wC∣\lvert w_\mathrm{B}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{A}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{D}\rvert > \lvert w_\mathrm{C}\rvert
