The paper presents relation for maximal pressure-volume work for closed systems by using principles of I and II law of thermodynamics, used in reversible processes in which mechanical and thermal balance has been achieved. For full interpretation of this problem for two characteristic cases, graphical review in p-v diagram is given, where in an obv...

Based on relations for the maximum work at the closed thermodynamic system, the paper presents implementation of a general model for determining the minimum storage volume for compressed air. Due to the mechanical and thermodynamic imbalance of observed model, there are the conditions for obtaining the maximum work. Derived relations, which represe...
