Interpretation:For the given process, the value of the final temperature with q, w, ΔU and ΔH for the adiabatic reversible expansion of gas needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction: In
Hence in reversible processes, both the system and surroundings are returned to their initial states. In general all reversible processes are ideal processes and cannot occur naturally.
On the contrary, an irreversible process cannot come back to its initial condition. All spontaneous processes in nature are irreversible processes.
In an adiabatic process the heat change is zero therefore the work done will be equal to the change in the internal energy.
