Types Of Thermodynamic Processes

Question 1

Iso- Thermal process meaning?

Answer 1

Process that occurs at constant Temperature
∆T=0

Question 2

Isobaric process meaning?

Answer 2

Process occurs at constant Pressure
∆P=0

Question 3

Isochoric process meaning?

Answer 3

Process occurs at constant volume
∆V=0

Question 4

Adiabatic process meaning?

Answer 4

Process where no heat change occurs
∆q=0

Question 5

What do you mean by Reversible process ?

Answer 5

1) Process which occurs in infinitely small steps ( takes infinite time to finish)
2) Slow process
3) Each step is in equilibrium with previous step ( Equilibrium always exists)
4) Driving force > Opposing force ( outside force)
P > P-dP

Question 6

What do you mean by Irreversible force?

Answer 6

1) Process which occurs at once (at finite time)
2) Fast process
3) Equilibrium at initially & finally
( not in-between)
4) Driving force&raquo_space; Opposing force ( outside force)
P > P-∆P
