Q91
If the atmospheric air is cooled because of expansion, the cooling is known as
A.
Adiabatic
AnswerB.
Lapse rate
C.
Alto-cooling
D.
Inverse cooling
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
If the atmospheric air is cooled because of expansion, the cooling is known as Adiabatic. An adiabatic process occurs without transfer of heat or mass of substances between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. In an adiabatic process, energy is transferred to the surroundings only as work.
