Transcribed Image Text:**PV Plot Analysis for Boundary Work**
The diagram above depicts a Pressure-Volume (PV) plot for three processes labeled A, B, and C, transitioning from state 1 to state 2. The main objective is to determine which process results in the maximum boundary work, denoted as \( W_b \).
**Graph Description:**
- The plot is a graph with Pressure (P) on the vertical axis and Volume (V) on the horizontal axis.
- The transition from state 1 to state 2 is represented by three distinct curves:
- Process A follows a concave trajectory above processes B and C.
- Process B transitions with a slightly straighter curve below process A, positioned in the middle.
- Process C is the lowest curve, more linear compared to A and B, below both.
**Question:**
Which process has the maximum boundary work \( W_b \)?
- A. A
- B. B
- C. C
**Note:** The area under each curve in a PV plot represents the boundary work done by the system. The process with the largest enclosed area between the curve and the volume axis from state 1 to state 2 will have the maximum boundary work.
