Pressure-Volume Energy Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the change in energy (dE) is:

$dE = P \times dV$

Where:

$dE$ is the change in energy (Joules).
$P$ is the pressure (Pascals).
$dV$ is the change in volume (m³).

Example

Let's say the pressure is 100,000 Pa, and the change in volume is 0.05 m³. Using the formula:

$dE = 100000 \times 0.05$

We get:

$dE = 5000$

So, the change in energy ( $dE$ ) is 5000 Joules.

What is Pressure-Volume Energy?

Pressure-volume energy refers to the work done by or on a system when it undergoes a change in volume under constant pressure. It is calculated by multiplying the pressure by the change in volume.
