Processes of Ideal Gas
In general, there are five processes that ideal gas can undergo. These
processes are:

1- Constant Volume process (V=C) or Isochoric process.


2- Constant Pressure process. (P=C) Isobaric process.
3- Constant Temperature process (T=C) or Isothermal process.
4- Adiabatic process (Q=0) or no heat flow process.
5- Polytropic process. (The most realistic process).

For every process, we will:


- Find the relationship between pressure (P), volume, (V), and temperature
(T). Also:
- Derive an equation to calculate both Work (W) and heat transferred (Q)
during that process.

1) Constant Volume process (V=C) or Isochoric process.

In this process the volume of the container remains


constant, while both the pressure and temperature
change.
Examples on this process is change the pressure or
temperature for an ideal gas contained in a constant
volume vessel or tank.

To find the relationship between pressure and


temperature, we know that:
𝑃1 𝑉1 𝑃2 𝑉2
=
𝑇1 𝑇2
When V1=V2:
𝑃1 𝑃2
=
𝑇1 𝑇2

For work, since:

Since there is no change in volume then dv=0 therefore there will be no work in this process. So,
W=0 for constant volume process.

For heat, since:

Since U=Cv. T

where Q is in (J), m is the mass in Kg. Cv is the specific heat at


constant volume in (J/kg. K). T1, T2 are temperatures in K.

Example : A Helium gas is initially at a temperature of 200 K. The gas occupies a
constant volume. Heat is then added to the gas until the temperature reaches 400 K.
Using data from the figure, find: 1) the mass of gas. 2)the change in internal energy.
3) What is the work done in this process. 4) the heat added.

Sol: From table A-1, the gas constant (R), and Cv can
be found :
R= 2.0769 KJ/Kg.K = 2076.9 J/Kg.K,
Cv= 3.1156 Kj/Kg.K= 3115.6 J/Kg.K

1) Since P1V1 = mRT1 Then : m= P1V1/RT1


m = (80 *103 * 4 *10-3)/ (2076.9*200) = 7.703 Kg.
2) ΔU= mCv ΔT = 7.703* 3115.6. (400-200)=
4799893 J = 4799 KJ
3) W=0 (constant volume process). ΔV=0
4) Since Q+W = ΔU and W=0 then : Q= ΔU = 4799KJ

2) Constant Pressure process. (P=C) or Isobaric process.

The following figure shows an expansion


process where volume increases but the
pressure remains constant. This process is
called a constant pressure process.

We know that the general relationship


between P, V, and T for an ideal gas is:
𝑃1 𝑉1 𝑃2 𝑉2
=
𝑇1 𝑇2
When P1=P2:
𝑉1 𝑉2
=
𝑇1 𝑇2

6
For heat transfer through this process:

Since h=Cp. T

where Q is in (J), m is the mass in Kg. Cp is the specific heat at constant pressure
in (J/kg. K). T1, T2 are temperatures in K.

3) Constant Temperature process (T=C) or Isothermal process.
In this process, the temperature of ideal gas
remains constant while both pressure and
volume change.

To find the relationship between pressure and


volume, we know that:
𝑃1 𝑉1 𝑃2 𝑉2
=
𝑇1 𝑇2
When T1=T2: P1V1=P2V2

To derive a formula for work: since

Note that in above equations, volume is


written as a specific volume (ν) in m3/Kg, so,
the work will be specific work in J/Kg.
You can use total volume (V) in m3 and get
the work in J.

10
The last equation also can be written as:

To derive a relationship between Heat (Q) and Work (W) :

So, Q = -W Which means heat equals to


the negative value of work.
