In Polytropic process the product of Pressure and Volume (PV) power 'n' is constant
where,
'n' is polytropic index
1.2 to 1.4
A polytropic process is a process where ( P ) ( V )^n is maintained throughout the process; commonly a compression or an expansion. The n is called the polytropic exponent and is often between 1.0 and k , the specific heat ratio. For a reversible, polytropic, and nonflow process : WB = [ ( P2 ) ( V2 ) - ( P1 ) ( V1 ) ] / [ 1 - n ] or WB = [ 1 / 1 - n ][ ( P1 ) ( V1 ] [ ( P2 / P1 )^B - 1 ] B = ( n - 1 ) / ( n ) For a reversible, polytropic, and steady flow process : WSF = [ n / 1 - n ] [ ( P1 ) ( V1 )] [ ( P2 / P1 )^B - 1 ] B = ( n - 1 ) / ( n )
At engineering level technically both process are same except there definition both process give hyperbolic curve in P-V diagram and straight line in T-S diagram. and even in polytropic process PV^n=constant if n=1 then it is not hyperbolic process it is isothermal process even though the definition says pv=c is hyperbolic process.
flow process : it is one in which fluid enters the system and leaves it after work interaction,which means that such processes occur in the systems having open boundary permitting mass interaction across the system boundary. non flow process : it is the one in which there is no mass interaction across the system boundaries during the occurrence of process. different type of non flow process of perfect gas are given below: (1) constant volume process (2) constant pressure process (3) Isothermal process (4) adiabatic process (5) polytropic process
The process in which change in volume and temperature takes place at a constant pressure is called an isobaric process
the value of polytropic exponent "n" in reversible process will vary from 1 to adiabatic constant "gamma"

The process equation for this is PV up to the nth power which equals C. The polytrophic process is 1.25 which is the n in the equation.

constant process of being used.
for isen tropic process the heat transfer(Q) will zero. for poly tropic process is heat transfer not equal to zero
A piston cylinder process actually includes two processes. The gas inside the piston undergoes both the constant pressure process and the contant volume process.
