Isothermal Process
When a gas undergoes expansion or compression at constant temperature, the process is called isothermal process.
Adiabatic Process
When a thermodynamic system undergoes a change in such a way that no exchange of heat takes place between it and the surroundings, the process is
Joule's Law.
Whenever heat is converted into mechanical work or mechanical work is converted into heat, then the ratio of work done to heat produce
