The constant Volume process, also known as Isovolumetric, is where the volume is constant and does not change. In a P, V, Diagram this should be where volume is constant where Pressure is increased. The work done (area under the curve) would be = to 0 in this case.

A constant voume is an amount of space that does not change. An example would be a rigid box. No matter what you put in that box, it remains exactly the same size. So the volume is constant.

Constant volume is nothing but the ''change of volume is absent'' in a particular system... for eg.,in a container which works on diesel cycle whatever the temp increses there is no change in its volume inside the system.......It will be rigid

When does raising the temperature of gas increase its pressure?

Increasing the temperature of a gas will increase it's pressure ONLY if the volume is held constant.


Why Do Gasses Have Two Specific Heats?

One is for constant pressure, the other is for constant volume. These are not the same; for example, if the pressure is maintained constant, and the gas is heated, the volume changes.


When the temperature is constant will the the volume of a gas decrease as the pressure decreases?

At constant temperature p.V=constant, so pressure INcreases when decreasing the volume.

Is water have specific heat at constant volume or not?

Yes it has! the specific heat of water at constant volume is given by cV : Heat capacity at constant volume cP : Heat capacity at constant pressure : Thermal expansion coefficient : Isothermal compressibility : Density


Does gas retain it's volume at varying temps and pressures?

It can but, not necessarily so. At a constant volume the temperature and pressure rise in direct proportion. At a constant temperature the volume is inversely proportionate to the pressure. At a constant pressure the volume is directly proportionate to the temperature.
