What is a Thermodynamic Process?
What is a Thermodynamic Process?What is a thermodynamic process? How do they relate to the laws of thermodynamics? Can you use them to determine the work done by a system?Answer: A system undergoes a thermodynamic process when there is some sort of energetic change within the system, generally associated with changes in pressure, volume, internal energy, temperature, or any sort of heat transfer. Major Types of Thermodynamic Processes There are several specific types of thermodynamic processes that happen frequently enough (and in practical situations) that they are commonly treated in the study of thermodynamics. Each has a unique trait that identifies it, and which is useful in analyzing the energy and work changes related to the process. • Adiabatic process – a process with no heat transfer into or out of the system. •
