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

• Non-flow Work • Change in Enthalpy

• Steady-flow Work • Heat Transfer

• Change in Entropy
