The change in __________ is equal to the reversible work for compression in steady state flow process under isothermal condition?

Correct answer: C. Gibbs free energy

  • A. Internal energy
  • B. Enthalpy
  • C. Gibbs free energy
  • D. Helmholtz free energy

Explanation

For a reversible isothermal steady-flow compression, the heat term is TΔS, so the required work becomes ΔH - TΔS = ΔG. Thus, the reversible compression work is represented by the change in Gibbs free energy.
