Question
Chapter 27.2, Problem 1aTH
To determine
To Describe: Whether, an ideal gas process satisfies the given conditions or not.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The process with constant temperature and with some
Take an example of piston cylinder arrangement with an ideal gas. Gas is allowed to expand and contract. The heat is supplied or extract from the cylinder . This expands or contracts the piston slowly and produce work without change in temperature.
Conclusion:
Yes, in isothermal process the temperature is constant and heat is transferred.
