    Show that the Change in Volume is Independent of the Path

    Here is the work I have done so far. I did use the equations but I was having a hard time understanding in my mind the final values to plug in specifically for the final T value. I assumed it was referring to the final state so I plugged in 400 K. Please let me know if I made any mistakes...

    Show that the Change in Volume is Independent of the Path

    So would I have to change the equation of state around and plug it into each change of V, change of T, and change of P? Edit: I should plug them into the partial difference equation? The change in should be constants I think. Edit(again): The only equation I really have to plug in is V=(RT)/P...

    Show that the Change in Volume is Independent of the Path

    The equation of state would be PV=nRT. P- pressure V- volume n- number of moles T-temperature R-universal constant

    Fortran How to Use FORTRAN Do Loops for Solving Equations - Step by Step Guide"

    Hey guys, I'm new to fortran and I'm having a slight problem. I put my code below as reference. I first set up a my known values. Then I used an equation to solve for v. After I solve for v I then computed c which involves v. What I'm now trying to do is to loop the value I got for c back...

    Surface Integral Problem (Answer Already Given)

    Ok I figured it out guys. Thanks to LCKurtz for explaining it to me. The function I had is correct -375r+300. Since it was a circle it was easier for me to put into circular coordinates. So I had to change from dxdy to r dr dΘ Whole set-up: ∫∫-375r+300 r dr dΘ from 0 to 0.8 then from 0...
