Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The process with constant temperature and with some heat transfer is possible thermodynamically for ideal gas. Isothermal is the process in which heat is transferred slowly with constant temperature. For isothermal process, temperature is constant for an ideal gas.

Take an example of piston cylinder arrangement with an ideal gas. Gas is allowed to expand and contract. The heat is supplied or extract from the cylinder . This expands or contracts the piston slowly and produce work without change in temperature.

Conclusion:

Yes, in isothermal process the temperature is constant and heat is transferred.
