33 Questions around this concept.
In the given diagram graph 1 represents the adiabatic process and 2 represents the isothermal process. Which of the following comparisons is not true for graphs 1 and 2
The Thermodynamic process, in which the internal energy of the system remains constant is
For the P-V diagram given for an ideal gas,
out of the following which one correctly represents the T-P diagram ?
For O2 gas while performing isothermal process the slope of P - V curve was =5 at state A. What is the slope of P - V curve at state A if same gas will perform adiabatic process?
Isothermal process - When a thermodynamic system undergoes a thermodynamic process in such a way that its temperature remains constant, then that process is called an Isothermal process.
So,
Trick to recognize isothermal process -
- The walls of the container must be perfectly conducting (no resistance) which allows the exchange of heat between the gas and surroundings.
- The process of compression or expansion should be infinitely slow so that the process gets proper time for the exchange of heat.
Equation of isothermal process -
As we know that the equation of state is given by
If
So we can write that - P.V
Points in graph of isothermal process -
i) Curves obtained on P-V graph are called isotherms and the graphs are hyperbolic in nature.
ii) Slope of isothermal curve :
By differentiating PV = C
iii) The area between the isothermal curve and volume axis represents the work done in the isothermal process.
The formula of Work done in the isothermal process -
