Question
What is a thermodynamic process ? Explain.

Answer


A procedure by which the initial state of a system changes to its final state is called a thermodynamic process. During the process/ there may be
1. addition of heat to the system
2. removal of heat from the system
3. change in the temperature of the system
4. change in the volume of the system
5. change in the pressure of the system.
