In the equation, PVn = constant, if the value of n is in between 1 and y $$\left( {{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}{\text{., }}\frac{{{{\text{C}}_{\text{P}}}}}{{{{\text{C}}_{\text{V}}}}}} \right),$$ then it represents a reversible __________ process.
A. Isometric
B. Polytropic
C. Isentropic
D. Isobaric
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$P{V^n} = {\text{constant}},$$ if $$n$$ lies between the $$1$$ and $$y\left( {\frac{{{c_p}}}{{{c_v}}}} \right)$$ then the process is known as polytrophic process when $$n = 1$$ it is called isothermal process and when $$n = y$$ it is called as adiabatic process.Related Questions on Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
