Question

what is meant by a thermodynamic process?​

Answer 1

Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that has to do with the heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

The behaviour of these quantities is governed by the four laws of thermodynamics prospective of composition or specific properties of Material or system in question. The laws of thermodynamics are explain in terms of microscopic constituent by statistical mechanics thermodynamics applied to a wide variety of topics in Science and Engineering specially in physical chemistry chemical engineering and mechanical engineering

Answer 2

$\text{\underline{\underline{Thermodynamic\:process:}}}$

$\Rightarrow$ Let us consider a system having $P_{1}V_{1}$ and $T_{1}$ state functions.

$\Rightarrow$ If $T_{1}$ is changed to $T_{2}$ then the resulting system is characterized by state functions $P_{1}V_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ and the process of changing state is called as thermodynamic process.

$\Rightarrow$ Thermodynamic process can be defined as a process having change in state of system.


$\text{\underline{\underline{These\:are\:of\:the\:following\:types:}}}$


1) $\text{\underline{Isothermal\:process}}$:

$\Rightarrow$ The thermodynamic process in which temperature remains constant throughout are called isothermal process.


2) $\text{\underline{Adiabatic\:process}}$:

$\Rightarrow$ The thermodynamic process in which heat exchange between system and surrounding is not possible.


3) $\text{\underline{Isobaric\:process}}$:

$\Rightarrow$ The thermodynamic process occurring at constant pressure are called isobaric process.


4) $\text{\underline{Isochoric\:process}}$:

$\Rightarrow$ The thermodynamic process occurring at constant volume are called isochoric process.


5) $\text{\underline{Cyclic\:process}}$:

$\Rightarrow$ The thermodynamic process having same initial and final state are called cyclic process.
