Chapter 18.2, Problem 18.2GI

Name the basic thermodynamic process involved when each of the following is done to a piston-cylinder system containing ideal gas. and tell also whether temperature, pressure, volume, and internal energy increase or decrease: (1) The piston is locked in place and a flame is applied to the bottom of the cylinder; (2) the cylinder is completely insulated and the piston is pushed downward; (3) the piston is exposed to atmospheric pressure and is free to move, while the cylinder is cooled by placing it on a block of ice.
