What happens in a reversible adiabatic compression ?
Correct answer: C. Heating occurs
- A. Pressure is constant
- B. Cooling occurs
- C. Heating occurs
- D. Temperature is constant
Explanation
A reversible adiabatic compression has no heat transfer, but the work supplied to the gas raises its internal energy and temperature. Hence heating occurs in the sense of a temperature rise, although no heat enters from the surroundings.
