Which of the following exemplifies an adiabatic process ?
Correct answer: B. Sudden bursting of a cycle tube
- A. Melting of ice
- B. Sudden bursting of a cycle tube
- C. Condensation of alcohol vapor
- D. Evaporation of water
Explanation
A suddenly bursting cycle tube releases gas so rapidly that there is negligible time for heat transfer, making the event approximately adiabatic. Melting, condensation and evaporation normally involve heat exchange with the surroundings.
