QUESTION:

Problem 14CQ

A real process may be nearly adiabatic if it occurs over a very short time. How does the short time span help the process to be adiabatic?

ANSWER:

Solution 14CQ

Step 1 of 3

A process is adiabatic when the system does not exchange heat with its surroundings. This can happen in two ways: either you can insulate the system so well that the heat transfer is negligible or you can make the process so fast that there is not enough time for heat exchange (All heat transfer mechanisms: conduction, convection, diffusion and radiation, are time consuming).
