In a thermodynamic process, there is no exchange of heat between the system and surroundings. Then the thermodynamic process is
isothermal
isobaric
isochoric
adiabatic
Solution
- In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one that occurs without the transfer of heat or matter between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings.
- Either using thermodynamics first law $\Delta \mathrm{E}=\Delta \mathrm{Q}+\Delta \mathrm{W}$
- Hence in the adiabatic process $\Delta \mathbf{Q}=\mathbf{0}$ since there is no exchange of heat which means
- In an adiabatic process, energy is transferred only as work.
- $\therefore \Delta \mathrm{E}=\Delta \mathrm{W}$
