Document Summary

An ________ process is one that occurs at constant pressure. The work done on the system in such a process is -p v. isobaric. In an isobaric process, as the volume (v) increases, the temperature (t) also increases and visa versa. (nr/p) stays constant. In an ________ process the volume doesn"t change and no work is being done. isometric. In a isometric process, as the pressure (p) increases, the temperature (t) also increases and visa versa. (nr/v) stays constant. An ________ process occurs at constant temperature. isothermal. Because in an isothermal process, temperature (t) is constant, the internal energy u is also constant and therefore is 0. In an ________ process, no energy is transferred in or out of a system as a result of a change in temperature. This happens because the system is either very insulated or the process occurs so quickly that heat cannot take place. adiabatic.
