Module 4
Analyzing Ideal Gas Processes
1
Isochoric and Isobaric Processes: Work and Heat Transfer
Analyze constant volume (isochoric) and constant pressure (isobaric) processes, calculating work and heat transfer.
2
Isothermal Processes for Ideal Gases: Work & Heat Transfer
Analyze constant temperature (isothermal) processes for an ideal gas and calculate work and heat transfer.
3
Isentropic Processes & PV^k = constant
Analyze reversible adiabatic (isentropic) processes for an ideal gas and apply the relation PV^k = constant.
4
PV Diagrams & Work Done
Represent these four fundamental processes on P-V diagrams and calculate net work for a simple cycle.
The Polytropic Process: A Generalized Model
Describe the polytropic process (PV^n = constant) as a generalized model for real expansion and compression.
6
First Law Applications in Thermodynamic Processes
Apply the First Law to solve problems involving sequences of thermodynamic processes.
