Thermodynamic Processes
Describe the three thermodynamic processes that are discussed in section one of this chapter. What are they, what role do they play, and why are they important?
An isothermal process is a thermodynamic process in which the temperature of the system stays constant. A isovolumetric process is a thermodynamic process that takes place at constant volume so that no work is done on or by the system. An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process during which no energy is transferred to or form the system as heat. They all show how work can be done through different forms of energy.
Isovolumetric is a process that takes place at constant volume so that no work is done on or by the system. Isothermal is a process that takes place at constant temperature. Adiabatic is a thermodynamic process during which no energy is transferred to or from the system as heat. They show us how work can be done in different types of energy.

ISOTHERMAL - temperature stays the same
ISOVOLUMETRIC - constant volume
ADIABATIC - no energy is transferred as heat
they are important b/c they show that there are different ways and combinations of how energy can be transferred through differnt processes.
THE END
Isovolumetric is a process that takes place at constant volume so that no work is done on or by the system. Isothermal is a process that takes place at constant temperature. Adiabatic is a thermodynamic process during which no energy is transferred to or from the system as heat. They show us how work can be done in different types of energy.
