Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9A
To determine
Conditions for an adiabatic process.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange for a system either during expansion or compression.The adiabatic process can be either reversible or irreversible.
The essential conditions for the adiabatic process to take place are:
- There should be perfect insulation of the system from its surrounding.
- The process should occur at such a pace that there is no time for heat exchange.
Conclusion:
For an adiabatic process, the change in heat of the process has to be zero.

- You are working during the summer at a company that builds theme parks. The company is designing an electromagnetic propulsion system for a new roller coaster. A model of a substructure of the device appears in the figure below. Two parallel, horizontal rails extend from left to right, with one rail behind the other. A cylindrical rod rests on top of and perpendicular to the rails at their left ends. The distance between the rails is d and the length of the rails is L. The magnetic field vector B points vertically down, perpendicular to the rails. Within the rod, the current I flows out of the page, from the rail in the back toward the rail in the front. The rod is of length d = 1.00 m and mass m = 0.700 kg. The rod carries a current I = 100 A in the direction shown and rolls along the rails of length L = 20.0 m without slipping. The entire system of rod and rails is immersed in a uniform downward-directed magnetic field with magnitude B = 2.30 T.
