| Process | Basic Idea | Work (W) | ΔEint | Heat (Q) | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Isochoric (Constant Volume) | W = 0 | 0 | n CV ΔT | Q = ΔEint | |||||||
| Isothermal (Constant Temp.) | ΔEint = 0 |
| 0 | Q = W | |||||||
| Adiabatic (No Heat) | Q = 0 | PVγ = constant Integrate to get W | ΔEint = -W | 0 | |||||||
| Free Expansion | Q = 0; ΔT = 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |||||||
| Isobaric (Constant Pressure) | no zeroes! | PΔV = nR ΔT | n CV ΔT | n CP ΔT |
