Problem 2.38

Draw the approximate plots of isochoric, isobaric, isothermal, and adiabatic processes for the case of an ideal gas, using the following variables: (a) \(p, T\) (b) \(V, T\).

Reveal Answer
 See Fig. 13 where V is an isochore, p is an isobaric line, is an isothermal line, and S is an adiabatic line. \text { See Fig. } 13 \text { where } V \text { is an isochore, } p \text { is an isobaric line, is an isothermal line, and S is an adiabatic line. }
