A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that obeys the relation:
p
V
n
=
C
{\displaystyle pV^{\,n}=C}
where p is the pressure, V is volume, n is the polytropic index, and C is a constant. The polytropic process equation can describe multiple expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer.
We may say a process is adiabatic if it occurs fast enough such that no heat is exchanged from the system.But we also say a process is quasi-static when it occurs very slow.
Then how can PV^gamma = c hold for a fast occurring adiabatic process because a polytropic process should be...
Hi,
I have a question relating to a polytropic process. The question consists of two parts.
It says that the pressure (p) and the volume (v) of a gas undergoing a polytropic process are related by the equation:
p1V1^n = p2V2^n (where P1, P2 etc are individual variables as i don't know...
