Need clarification on adiabatic process and heat capacity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on clarifying concepts related to adiabatic processes, specifically the equations governing reversible and irreversible processes. It highlights that for an ideal gas, the change in internal energy (dU) is expressed as Cv*dT, derived from the relationship between heat capacity and temperature change. The conversation also addresses the application of Cp in constant pressure scenarios and the significance of quasi-static processes in thermodynamics. Additionally, participants explore the implications of entropy changes for reversible versus irreversible processes, emphasizing that the total entropy change must be greater than zero for irreversible processes. Understanding these relationships is crucial for mastering thermodynamic principles.
