Defining Isochoric Process Constant Volume Explained

An isochoric process occurs at constant volume, where pressure changes with temperature variations in a rigid container. The relationship between pressure and temperature is defined by the formula P1/T1 = P2/T2, applicable in ideal gas behavior. Isochoric processes are used in engineering applications like pressure vessels and internal combustion engines, but they require careful temperature control to avoid dangerous pressure increases.
