Explanation A thermodynamic process is defined as a change from one equilibrium state to another. The process involves the movement of energy from or into the system, as well as the performance of work by or on the system. Increasing the pressure of gas while keeping a constant temperature is an example of a thermodynamic process. A polytropic process is a process in thermodynamics that follows the equation...
