Question
Δ U is equal to
-
Isochoric work
-
Isobaric work
-
Adiabatic work
-
Isothermal work
Solution
C.
Adiabatic work
From 1st law thermodynamics:
ΔU = q + w
For adiabatic process :
q = 0
∴ ΔU = w
∴ Work involves in the adiabatic process is at the expense of a change in internal energy of the system.
