Passage of a thermodynamic system from an initial to a final state of thermodynamic equilibrium.


Below is the list of popular popular ideal Thermodynamic processes:


T({\bf r, t)= T({bf r}) \


Isothermal process

T(t) = {\rm const} \Leftrightarrow \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} = 0
Quasi-isothermal process

}
 
\
Leftrightarrow \frac{\partial T}{\partial t} = 0



Isobaric process


LaTeX Math Block
anchorP
alignmentleft
P(t) = {\rm const} \Leftrightarrow \frac{\partial P}{\partial t} = 0


Isochoric process


LaTeX Math Block
anchorV
alignmentleft
V(t) = {\rm const} \Leftrightarrow \frac{\partial V}{\partial t} = 0



Isentropic process


LaTeX Math Block
anchorS
alignmentleft
S(t) = {\rm const} \Leftrightarrow \frac{\partial S}{\partial t} = 0



Adiabatic process


LaTeX Math Block
anchorQ
alignmentleft
\frac{\partial (Q^{\downarrow}-Q^{\uparrow})}{\partial t} = 0


 

All the above processes are idealized and the practical studies and engineering are dealing with approximations to these processes, like for example, Quasi-isothermal process.
