Thermodynamic processes in systems can be named as following: 1.Pressure remains constant-Isobaric process 2.Volume remains constant-Isochoric process 3.Temperature remains constant-Isothermal process 4.Thermally insulated-Adiabatic process 5.*************-Polytropic process Q1)In a piston-cylinder device, all P,V,T properties can change. What is the name for a such process? Q2)What is the physical condition for Polytropic process? Q3)For adiabatic process, mathematically we say that PV^r=constant Here r(gamma)=specific heat ratio For Polytropic process it is PV^n=constant Is this n can be any real number?
