• True

• False

• Maybe

• I do not know

During adiabatic, internally reversible process, what is true about the change in entropy?

• it is temperature dependent

• it is always greater than zero

• it is always zero

• it is always less than zero

What is the difference between adiabatic process and isentropic process?

• Adiabatic: heat transfer is not equal to zero

  Isentropic: heat transfer is zero

• Both: heat transfer = 0

  Isentropic : reversible

• Both: heat transfer is not equal to zero

  Isentropic: irreversible

• Adiabatic: heat transfer = 0

  Isentropic: heat transfer not equal to zero
