Jun 4, 2017 at 16:13 comment added Alexey Sokolik If the system and surroundings are separated by a piston of the mass $m$ and area $S$ then its acceleration $a$ obeys the Netwon's third law $ma=(P-P_\mathrm{ext})S$. If the piston is weightless then $P=P_\mathrm{ext}$, otherwise $P\neq P_\mathrm{ext}$, but you need to take into account change of the piston kinetic energy in the energy balance equations.
