Write mathematical equations of first law of thermodynamics for the following processes:a. Adiabatic process b. Isochoric process |
|
Answer» a. Adiabatic process: The mathematical expression of first law of thermodynamics is ΔU = q + W. In adiabatic process, q = 0. Hence, the mathematical expression of first law of thermodynamics for adiabatic process is, ΔU = 0 + W ∴ ΔU = +W or - ΔU = - W b. Isochoric process: The mathematical expression of first law of thermodynamics is ΔU = q + W (W = - pex ΔV). In isochoric process, ΔV = 0, W = 0 Hence, the mathematical expression of first law of thermodynamics for isochoric process is, ΔU = qv + 0 ∴ ΔU = qv |
