The works of isothermal and adiabatic processes are different from each other.

- w isothermal reversible = 2.303 nRT log 1 0 V 2 V 1

= 2.303 nRT log 1 0 P 1 P 2

- w adiabatic reversible = C V T 1 - T 2

If w1, w2, w3 and w4 are magnitude of work done in isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric and isochoric reversible processes, respectively, then the correct sequence (for expansion) would be
