Thermodynamic Processes

Thermodynamic processes describe the change in a thermodynamic system from one state of thermodynamic equilibrium to another. Wolfram|Alpha provides formulas for computing the properties of many thermodynamic processes including isotropic, isobaric and adiabatic processes.
Thermodynamic Processes

Compute the changes in entropy, temperature and work in a system for different thermodynamic processes.

Analyze an adiabatic process:

adiabatic process Vi=10L, Vf=2L, pi=1atm

Analyze an isobaric process:

isobaric process

Analyze an isochoric process:

process at constant volume

Analyze an isothermal process:

Vi=1L, pi=1bar, Vf=0.5L, isothermal

Analyze a polytropic process:

polytropic process
