How to calaulate the area enclosed by the PV curve of a heat engine?
Hi M.Tushar,
For calculating the area enclosed by the PV diagram, you need to know the shape of the curve.
If the shape is a square or a rectangle, then the area will be the product of the two adjacent sides of the curve.
If the shape is irregular, then the area can be found by approximating the curve to the nearest standard geometric shape.
