QUESTION:

Consider the reversible expansion of a perfect gas. Provide a physical interpretation for the fact that pV = constant for an adiabatic change, whereas pV = constant for an isothermal change.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

An adiabatic process refers to the change where there is no heat transfer in the system when transfer of energy takes place. (Q = 0).

An , an isothermal process refers to the thermodynamic process in which the temperature of the system remains constant. (dT = 0).
