thermodynamic Process

Compression of gas is a thermodynamic process, and can be done in many ways; some of them are listed below.

• Isobaric Process – a process wherein pressure remains constant.
• Isothermal Process – a process in which there os no change in temperature.
• Isentropic Process – a process in which there is no change in entropy.
• Adiabatic Process – a process during which there is no external exchange of heat. PVk = Constant
• Polytropic Process – a process for perfect gases, follows the law PVn = Constant n=1 for isothermal process.
