Thermodynamic Process
Compression of gas is a thermodynamic process, and can be done in many ways;
some of them are listed below.
Isobaric Process – a process wherein pressure remains constant.
Isothermal Process – a process in which there os no change in temperature.
Isentropic Process – a process in which there is no change in entropy.
Adiabatic Process – a process during which there is no external exchange of heat.
PVk = Constant
Polytropic Process – a process for perfect gases, follows the law
PVn = Constant n=1 for isothermal process.
