An adiabatic curve is steeper than an isothermal curve because it represents a process where no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, leading to a more significant change in pressure and temperature for a given volume change. In contrast, an isothermal process occurs at constant temperature, so the system can absorb heat to maintain that temperature, resulting in a more gradual slope on a pressure-volume diagram. Essentially, the lack of heat exchange in an adiabatic process restricts the system's ability to adjust temperature, causing a steeper relationship between pressure and volume changes.
Yes.A mountain is generally steeper than a hill because it is taller.
A butte is steeper than a mesa. While both are elevated landforms with flat tops, buttes are generally smaller and feature more pronounced cliffs, giving them a steeper appearance compared to the broader, flatter surfaces of mesas. Additionally, hills and mountains can also be steeper than mesas, depending on their geological characteristics.
The symbol for an isotherm is a dashed line on a graph that represents a constant temperature measurement.
Above the 10 degree isotherm: Brazil and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Below the 10 degree isotherm: Australia and Venezuela.
Adiabaticity is the quality of being adiabatic, having no heat transfer.
Reason being vaguely adiabatic process is more rapid - process is done so fast that no energy is allowed to enter or exit the system. So P-v variations will be high
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.
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines
Yes.A mountain is generally steeper than a hill because it is taller.
the island east/west of the isotherm is colder than the ocean to the east/west
the island east/west of the isotherm is colder than the ocean to the east/west
In an adiabatic process, there is no heat exchange with the surroundings, leading to steeper slopes on a PV diagram compared to an isothermal process where temperature remains constant. This results in different shapes and behaviors on the PV diagram for each process.
Isotherm is a noun.
30% is steeper than 15% slope.
The saturated adiabatic lapse rate is lower than the dry adiabatic lapse rate because during the process of condensation, heat is released into the atmosphere, which partially offsets the cooling effect of rising air. This release of heat makes the cooling rate of saturated air less than that of dry air as it ascends through the atmosphere.
The bed of a youthful valley will be steeper than the remainder of the watercourse, and the valley walls will be steeper than the remainder of the watercourse.
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
