Question
Which of the following equations represent an adiabatic process?(A) Q=0 and ΔEint = –W(B) Q=0 and ΔEint = W(C) Q=W and ΔEint = 0(D) Q=–W and ΔEint = 0The answer is: (A) Q=0 and ΔEint = –W
Solution
An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process in which there is no heat transfer into or out of the system (Q=0). The change in internal energy (ΔEint) is equal to the work done on or by the system. If work is done on the system, it increases the system's internal energy, and if work is done by the system, it decreases the system's internal energy. Therefore, the correct equation that represents an adiabatic process is (A) Q=0 and ΔEint = –W.
