What is free expansion in thermodynamics?

In free expansion, the external pressure is zero, i.e. work done is zero. Accordingly, free expansion is also called irreversible adiabatic expansion.


Why carnot cycle is called a two adiabatic and two isothermal process?

Adiabatic means there's no heat transference during the process; Isothermal means the process occurs at constant temperature. The compression and expansion processes are adiabatic, whereas the heat transfer from the hot reservoir and to the cold reservoir are isothermal. Those are the two adiabatic and isothermal processes.


What are the condition for ideal fluid?

When a gas undergoes adiabatic expansion it gets cooled due to?

It gets cooled because the internal energy of the system decreases.


Is entropy of adiabatic compression increase or decrese?

entropy of system for a reversible adiabatic process is equal to zero. entropy of system for a irreversible adiabatic process (like free expansion) can be achieved by the following formula: Delta S= n Cp ln(V2/V1) + n Cv ln (P2/P1)


Why an adiabatic curve steeper than an iosthermal?

In isothermal the temperature is constant whereas in adiabatic the temperature falls or rises rapidly.Consider the case for expansion where in adiabatic the temperature drops. If you consider PV/T=constant then for same pressure we can show that as temp decreases the volume also decreases. During expansion for isothermal the temp does not change so volume is higher than adiabatic. Example: Isothermal P=8 Pa, V=x , T=2K Adiabatic P=8 Pa, V=y, T=1K (as it drops) Using PV/T=constant we can find that y is less than x.
