Q424

In the equation PVn = constant, if the value of n = = C_ P C_ V, then it represents a reversible __________ process.

In the equation PVn = constant, if the value of   then it represents a reversible __________ process.
A.
Isothermal
B.
Adiabatic
C.
Isentropic
Answer
D.
Polytropic

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
If the polytrophic index is equal to ratio of heat capacities  than the process is known as reversible adiabatic process which is also called as isentropic process.
