Sep 6, 2017 at 10:14 comment added user150098 Thanks for your answer. But if I can't plot non equilibrium states then how come I plot the aforementioned graph? What I interpret out of the first graph ( if I'm not given the description that it's an irreversible isothermal process) is that the pressure is slowly decreased from P1 to P2 and then the volume is expanded slowly from V1 to V2. What I mean to say is that I think that only equilibrium states can be plotted on the graph.
