For a thermodynamic system undergoing a process, which of the following pairs best expresses the relationship similar to that expressed by the pressure volume plot ?

Correct answer: A. Temperature - entropy

  • A. Temperature - entropy
  • B. Temperature - pressure
  • C. Enthalpy - entropy
  • D. Enthalpy-pressure

Explanation

A temperature-entropy (T-S) diagram is the thermodynamic counterpart of a pressure-volume diagram: for a reversible process, the area under the curve represents heat transfer, just as the area under a P-V curve represents work.
