Is work done in adiabatic process quasi static or not?
Welcome to PF!sharma1994 said:Is work done in adiabatic process quasi static or not?
The work done in an adiabatic process can be considered quasi-static, as it occurs slowly enough for the system to remain in thermodynamic equilibrium throughout the process.
In a quasi-static process, the system remains in thermodynamic equilibrium throughout the process, while in a non-quasi-static process, the system may experience rapid changes and not have enough time to reach equilibrium.
Yes, a process can be both adiabatic and non-quasi-static, meaning that the system experiences rapid changes without any heat transfer. This can occur in real-world situations where the process happens too quickly for the system to reach equilibrium.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. In an adiabatic process, there is no heat transfer, so the change in internal energy of the system is equal to the work done on the system.
No, not all adiabatic processes are reversible. Reversible processes are idealized and require the system to be in equilibrium at all times, while adiabatic processes can occur in real-world situations where equilibrium is not maintained throughout the process.
