A compressor undergoes a reversible, steady flow process. The gas at inlet and outlet of the compressor is designated as state $$1$$ and state $$2$$ respectively. Potential and kinetic energy changes are to be ignored. The following notations are used:
$$v=$$ specific volume and $$P=$$ pressure of the gas.
The specific work required to be supplied to the compressor for this gas compression process is
A
$$\int_1^2 {Pdv} $$
B
$$\int_1^2 {vdP} $$
C
$$v{}_1\left( {{P_2} - {P_1}} \right)$$
D
$$ - {P_2}\left( {{v_1} - {v_2}} \right)$$
