उत्तर
For an isothermal process, PV =K , where P is P is pressure, V is volume of the system and Kis constant. In an isothermal process, a small change in V produces only a small change in p, so as to keep the product constant. On the other hand, in an adiabatic process, `"P""V" ^gamma = "k" , gamma = ("C"_"P")/("C"_"V")> 1 `
is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and volume, respectively, and k is a constant. In this process, a small increase in volume produces a large decrease in pressure. Therefore, an isothermal process is considered to be a slow process and an adiabatic process a quick process.
