Thermodynamic Processes
Generally happens very quickly.
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
No Q in or out of the gas.
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
Only work is done on or by the gas.
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
Could occur slowly only if the gas is perfectly insulated.
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
ΔU = -W
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
Any change of temperature is due to work being done on or by the gas.
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
No change of temperature.
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
No ΔU.
- Adiabatic
- Isovolumetric
- Isothermal
Generally occurs slowly so that as heat is gained or lost and equal amount of work is done by or on the gas.

Any change of temperature is only because heat is added or removed.
