Isothermal and adiabatic Process Introduction Among the various types of thermodynamic processes, there are two very important ones which are the adiabatic and isothermal processes. An adiabatic process is one of thermodynamic process in which there is no transfer of heat. In simple, the body is in adiabatic isolation. An isothermal process is a thermodynamic change where the temperature of the body does not change through the process. It is possible to keep temperature constant only when we allow the heat energy to get ejected or vice versa. It happens when the system is perfectly conducting to the surroundings. The process has to be performed in very slow manner. We should give enough time for heat absorption and ejection at constant temperature.

What is an ideal gas? An ideal gas is one that abides by the gas laws under all possible pressure and temperature conditions. The gas must adhere to the kinetic-molecular theory in its entirety to achieve this. The gas particles must have no volume and must not interact with one another in any way that could be considered attractive. There is no such thing as an ideal gas because neither of those statements can be true. If there is no ideal gas, then what is normal gas known as? Gas that exists in the real world are known as “Real Gas”. The term real gas usually refers to a gas does not behave like an ideal gas. Their behaviour can be explained by the interactions between the gaseous molecules. These intermolecular interactions between the gas particles is the reason why real gases do not adhere to the ideal gas law. Therefore, “Real gases can be defined as non-ideal gases whose molecules occupy a given amount of space and have the ability to interact with each other”. What govern...
