Processes of Ideal Gas
THERMODYNAMIC CURVES
• General Equation
• IF:
• n=0 , Isobaric Process
• n=∞ , Isometric Process
• n=1 , Isothermal Process
• n=k , Isentropic Process
• n=n , Polytropic Process
POLYTROPIC PROCESS (Reversible
Adiabatic) – process which obeys PVn=C
• PVT relation (PVn=C) • Change in Internal Energy
• Change in Entropy
• Note:
ISOBARIC PROCESS – constant pressure
process
• PVT relation (P=C) • Change in Internal Energy
• Change in Entropy
ISOMETRIC PROCESS
(Isochoric/Isovolumic) – constant volume
process
• PVT relation (V=C) • Change in Internal Energy
• Heat Transfer
• Steady-flow Work
• Change in Entropy
ISOTHERMAL PROCESS – constant
temperature process
• PVT relation (T=C) • Change in Internal Energy
• Heat Transfer
• Steady-flow Work
• Change in Entropy
ISENTROPIC PROCESS (Reversible
Adiabatic) – constant entropy process
• PVT relation (S=C or PVk=C) • Change in Internal Energy
• Change in Entropy
