Question

A process in which the working substance neither receives nor gives heat to its surroundings during expansion or compression is called:

• A. isothermal process
• B. hyperbolic process
• C. adiabatic process
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C adiabatic process

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is one that occurs without transfer of heat or matter between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. In an adiabatic process, energy is transferred to its surroundings only as work.
