Thermal Processes

Thermal Processes

Combined Gas Law

•  $\frac{PV}{T}=\frac{PV}{T}$  

• Relates pressure, Volume, and Temperature

Constant- Volume

• These processes do no work

• W=0

• ΔE=Q

Constant- Pressure

•  $W=P\Delta V$  

•  $Q=\Delta E+P\Delta V$  

Isothermal

• Constant Temperature( no change in internal energy)

• ΔE=0

• Q=W

Adiabatic

• No change in heat

• Q=0

• ΔE=-W
