What are thermodynamic processes?
(N/A) Thermodynamic processes are defined as follows:
$(1)$ Isothermal process: The process during which the temperature of the system remains constant.
$(2)$ Isobaric process: The process during which the pressure of the system remains constant.
$(3)$ Isochoric process: The process during which the volume of the system remains constant.
$(4)$ Adiabatic process: $A$ process in which a system undergoes physical changes such that no heat is exchanged between the system and its surroundings $(\Delta Q = 0)$.
$(5)$ Cyclic process: $A$ process in which a system undergoes a series of changes that return the system back to its initial state.
Some special thermodynamic processes are summarized in the table below:
$(1)$ Isothermal process: The process during which the temperature of the system remains constant.

| Isothermal | Temperature constant |
| Isobaric | Pressure constant |
| Isochoric | Volume constant |
| Adiabatic | No heat flow $(\Delta Q = 0)$ |

$A$ thermodynamic system undergoes a cyclic process through four stages. The energy values involved during this process are $Q_1 = 600 \ J, Q_2 = -400 \ J, Q_3 = -300 \ J$,and $Q_4 = 200 \ J$. The work values are $W_1 = 300 \ J, W_2 = -200 \ J, W_3 = -150 \ J$,and $W_4$. Find the value of $W_4$ in $J$.

View SolutionStarting at temperature $300 \; K,$ one mole of an ideal diatomic gas $(\gamma=1.4)$ is first compressed adiabatically from volume $V_{1}$ to $V_{2}=\frac{V_{1}}{16}.$ It is then allowed to expand isobarically to volume $2V_{2}.$ If all the processes are quasi-static,then the final temperature of the gas (in $K$) is (to the nearest integer):

Then,for this process,the thermal compressibility at high temperature
An ideal gas is heated at constant pressure. If $Q$ is the amount of heat absorbed,then the ratio of the work done to the heat absorbed for increasing the internal energy is:

View Solution$A$ heating element of resistance $r$ is fitted inside an adiabatic cylinder which carries a frictionless piston of mass $m$ and cross-sectional area $A$. The cylinder contains one mole of a diatomic gas. The temperature of the gas varies with time $t$ as $T = \alpha t + \frac{1}{2} \beta t^2$ (where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are constants), while the pressure remains constant. The atmospheric pressure above the piston is $P_0$. Then:
