Question

A sudden expansion or compression is

considered as an adiabatic process as there

will be no time sufficient for exchanging the

heat generated to the surroundings. Now if a

gas is comprised to half its volume first

rapidly and then slowly, in which case the

work done will be greater.why??​

Answer 1

Answer

The short answer is: Because heat exchange typically proceeds slowly. Thus, if your process occurs fast enough, heat exchange does not have time to occur in any significant way, and the process is adiabetic for lack of heat exchange.
