Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following 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 a gas in a piston. When you compress the gas quickly, it can get hotter without any heat coming in or going out.
  • Step 3: Recognize that this compression of gas in the piston, where no heat is exchanged, is an example of an adiabatic process.
