GRE Physics GR 1777 Problem Solution

029. Thermodynamics (Thermodynamics processes)

You should know about

• Thermodynamics processes
  • Adiabatic process (No heat transfer)
  • Isobaric process (Constant pressure)
  • Isothermal process (Constant temperature)

• When they are starting from the same state, the work done by an isothermal process is always bigger than the work done by an adiabatic process.

$latex W_\\text{isothermal} > W_\\text{adiabatic}$
