Moderate

In case of an _______________ process, the temperature of the system increases?

Correct answer: D. Adiabatic compression

  • A. Isothermal compression
  • B. Isothermal expansion
  • C. Adiabatic expansion
  • D. Adiabatic compression

Explanation

During adiabatic compression, no heat enters, so work done on the system raises its internal energy and temperature. Adiabatic expansion has the opposite effect and generally cools the system.
