Question

Distinguish between isothermal and adiabatic process ​

Answer 1

Isothermal process:

∆T=0

i.e, Temperature remains constant.

...

Adiabatic process:

∆q=0.

i.e,Heat is neither brought in or taken out from the thermodynamic system.Heat remains constant.

....

Hope this helps you.

Have a great day.

Answer 2

Answer

⚫Isothermal process

◾In this process changes in pressure and volume of gases takes place at a constant temperature.

◾Boyle's law holds good.

◾Generally this process is Slow.

◾Change in internal energy dU = 0

◾Specific heat of gas in this process is

infinity.

⚫Adiabatic process

◾In this process changes in pressure and volume takes place under a thermal isolation.

◾Boyle's law does not hold good.

◾Generally this process is fast.

◾Specific heat of gas in this process remain zero.
