Work done in a quasi-static process equals area under curve in:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

Thermodynamic work done by a gas during expansion or compression is given by:
$W = \int P \, dV$
- On a **P-V (Pressure-Volume) diagram**, this integral represents the area under the curve between the initial and final volumes.
- For a cyclic process, the net work done is the area enclosed within the cycle loop.
