Which of the following thermodynamic processes are impossible? Assume an ideal gas process. 

Choose as many as apply.

Which of the following thermodynamic processes are impossible? Assume an ideal gas process.
Choose as many as apply.
O There is heat transfer, but the temperature of the gas does not change.
O There is no work done on the gas, but there is heat transfer.
O There is no heat transfer, but work is done on the gas.
O None of these.
O There is no heat transfer, but the temperature of the gas changes.

O There is heat transfer, but the temperature of the gas does not change. O There is no work done on the gas, but there is heat transfer. O There is no heat transfer, but work is done on the gas. O None of these. O There is no heat transfer, but the temperature of the gas changes.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Heat transfer is occurred due to the temperature change. If the temperature of the gas is constant, the change in heat is zero. Thus, the following options are impossible:

  1. There is heat transfer, but the temperature of the gas does not change
  2. There is no heat transfer , but the temperature of the gas changes.
