Polytropic Process
1 / 10
Polytropic processes are significant in:
 Explanation: Gas compressors often follow polytropic processes due to combined heat and work effects. Calorimeters, condensers, and evaporators involve other processes
2 / 10
In a polytropic expansion, temperature:
 Explanation: Temperature change varies with n (e.g., decreases for n > 1, constant for n = 1). It’s not universally increasing or decreasing.
3 / 10
The polytropic index n for an adiabatic process equals:
 Explanation: Adiabatic processes follow PV^γ = constant, where γ is the specific heat ratio. Other n values represent different processes.
4 / 10
When n = 0, a polytropic process becomes:
 Explanation: For n = 0, PV^0 = constant, implying constant pressure, an isobaric process. Other processes correspond to different n values.
5 / 10
Polytropic processes are commonly analyzed in:
Explanation: Piston-cylinders allow volume and pressure changes, ideal for polytropic processes. Rigid containers, pipes, or heat exchangers involve other conditions.
6 / 10
For an ideal gas in a polytropic process, heat transfer:
 Explanation: Heat transfer varies with n, as Q = ΔU + W, and n affects both terms. It’s not inherently zero, equal to work, or negative
7 / 10
A polytropic process with n = ∞ represents:
Explanation: When n = ∞, volume is constant (PV^∞ = constant), indicating an isochoric process. Other processes have finite n values.
8 / 10
In a polytropic process, work done depends on:
 Explanation: Work is calculated as W = PΔV/(1-n), driven by volume change. Temperature, enthalpy, or entropy are secondary in work calculations.
9 / 10
The polytropic index n equals 1 for
 Explanation: For ideal gases, n = 1 gives PV = constant, characteristic of isothermal processes. Adiabatic, isobaric, and isochoric have different n values.
10 / 10
A polytropic process follows the relation:
 Explanation: Polytropic processes obey PV^n = constant, where n is the polytropic index. Other relations apply to isothermal, isochoric, or isobaric processes
