Question

Write mathematical equations of first law of thermodynamics for the following processes :
(a) Adiabatic process (b) Isochoric process

Open in App
Solution

(a) In adiabatic process, there is no exchange of heat thus q=0. So First law becomes ΔU=W.

(b) Isochoric process, as it is carried in closed vessel ΔV=0 thus W=0. So first law becomes ΔU=q.
