29. Define the following terms: b. adiabatic process a. isothermal process
Answers
Answer:
(a) Isothermal process: It is defined as one in which the temperature constant, during the change from its initial to final states . (b) Adiabatic process: It is defined as one in which there is no exchange of heat (q) between the system and surrounding during operations.
Answer:
b)In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process (Greek: adiábatos, “impassable”) is a type of thermodynamic process that occurs without transferring heat or mass between the thermodynamic system and its environment. Unlike an isothermal process, an adiabatic process transfers energy to the surroundings only as work.
a)In thermodynamics, an isothermal process is a type of thermodynamic process in which the temperature of the system remains constant: ΔT = 0. ... In contrast, an adiabatic process is where a system exchanges no heat with its surroundings (Q = 0).
