In thermodynamic processes which of the following statements is not true ?
- In an isochoric process pressure remains constant.
- In an isothermal process the temperature remains constant.
- In an adiabatic process PV = constant.
- In an adiabatic process the system is insulated from the surroundings.
Answer
(1) In an isochoric process pressure remains constant.
Solution
In an isochoric process the volume remains constant (pressure can change). So statement (1) is not true.
In an isothermal process temperature is constant; in an adiabatic process PV = constant and the system is insulated from the surroundings (no heat exchange). These are true.
Answer: (1)
