Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following processes is an example of an adiabatic process?
  • Step 1: Understand what an adiabatic process means. It is a process where no heat is transferred in or out of a system.
  • Step 2: Think about examples of processes. An example is compressing a gas in a piston.
  • Step 3: In this example, as the gas is compressed, it does not exchange heat with the surroundings.
  • Step 4: Therefore, the process of compressing the gas in a piston without heat exchange is an adiabatic process.
