what is an adiabatic process
Answers
❁ It is the process in which there is no exchange of heat between the system and surroundings.
❁ There must be a non conducting path between the system and surroundings.
❁ The changes should take place very rapidly.
❁ During pumping a bicycle tube, the barrel of the pump is heated. This is because work done in increasing the pressure is converted into heat. The heat is unable to go out of the barrel in a short time.
❁ Bursting of air filled tube. When the bicycle tube bursts, the air coming out of the tube expands rapidly into the atmosphere and gets cooled isothermally.
An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is gained or lost by the system. The first law of thermodynamics with Q=0 shows that all the change in internal energy is in the form of work done. ... This condition can be used to derive the expression for the work done during an adiabatic process.
