Question

What is the special thermodynamic meaning of the words adiabatic and aergonic? Give an example of a physical system/process where each of these applies.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The special thermodynamic meaning of the words Aergonic and Adiabatic are described below:

1. Adiabatic:

A process that is carried out in such a way that it does not results in any transfer of heat and transfers energy to the surrounding only in the form of work.

For example:

All the processes that occur in an insulated system.

2. Aergonic:

A process that is carried out in such a way that there is no work mode present is known as Aergonic process.

For example:

All the processes that are carried out in rigid and closed systems.
