Question
Apply first law for an adiabatic process.
Advertisements
Solution
This is a process in which no heat flows into or out of the system (Q = 0). But the gas can expand by spending its internal energy or gas can be compressed through some external work. So the pressure, volume and temperature of the system may change in an adiabatic process. For an adiabatic process, the first law becomes ∆U = W.
