Thermodynamic Processes of Perfect Gases
The
process of heating or cooling of a gas is defined as a thermodynamic process.
It has been observed that during a thermodynamic process, change takes place in
various properties of the gas such as pressure, volume, temperature, specific
energy, specific enthalpy etc. The following thermodynamic processes are important:
1. Constant volume process or isochoric process
2. Constant
Pressure Process or Isobaric Process
3. Hyperbolic
process
4. Constant
temperature process or isothermal process
5. Adiabatic
process or isentropic process
6. Polytropic
process
7. Free
expansion (or unresisted expansion) process
8. Throttling
process
