Identify the process from the definition given below: 'It is a thermodynamic process that is both adiabatic and reversible'. Correct Answer Isentropic process

  •  The correct answer is Option 2 i.e Isentropic process.

 

Process Definition
Isentropic Process It is a thermodynamic process that is both adiabatic and reversible, i.e no transfer of heat or matter. (ΔS = 0)
Isochoric Process It is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system in which the process is undergoing, remains constant. (ΔV = 0)
Isobaric Process It is a thermodynamic process in which the pressure of the system remains constant. (ΔP = 0)

Adiabatic Process
 		 It is a thermodynamic process in which there is no exchange of heat or mass between the system and its environment.
