In the equation, PVn = constant, if the value of n = ± ∞, then it represents a reversible _____________ process?
Correct answer: B. Isometric
- A. Adiabatic
- B. Isometric
- C. Isentropic
- D. Isothermal
Explanation
As n approaches positive or negative infinity in PV^n = constant, any finite pressure change requires the volume change to approach zero. The limiting process is therefore constant-volume, also called isometric or isochoric.
