Process-4
Polytropic Process: its P-V relation can be expressed as
PV
n
= constant, where n is a constant for a specific process
Isothermal, T=constant, if the gas is an ideal gas then
PV=RT=constant, n=1
Isobaric, P=constant, n=0 (for all substances)
Constant-volume, V=constant, V=constant(P)
(1/n)
, n=
