Question

1. Identify and explain the type of thermodynamic process exhibited by each item given the

four types of thermodynamic processes are: Isochoric,   Isobaric,   Isothermal,   and Adiabatic.

 

a. An air parcel becomes cooler and expands as it ascends to the
atmosphere at a rate of 10°C per 1000 m until the parcel reaches
its dew point and condenses.
b. Adding more heat to a tightly closed cooking pan to tenderize
meat faster.
c. Consider a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston, the piston is
free to move. If a gas is enclosed in the cylinder, the piston
moves up if the gas expands and goes down if the gas shrinks.
d. As water reaches the boiling point, it will be converted from
liquid to gas. At this stage, the temperature of the water remains
at 100°C.
