Let us suppose that for an ideal gas, isothermal and adiabatic expansions have initial volume Vi and pressure be Pi to a common final volume Vf. If Piso and Padia are the final pressures, then:
For isothermal expansion
Pi Vi = Piso Vf
And for adiabatic expansion,
Pi Vγ i = Padia (Vf) γ
Therefore, Vf/Vi = Pi/Piso
And Vf/Vi = Pi/Padia
As for expansion (Vf) > (Vi) and also for all gases γ > 1 , hence
{(Vf/ Vi) γ} > {Vf/ Vi}
Therefore {Pi/ Padia} > {Pi/ Piso}
Or (Padia) < (Piso)
