    Isochoric Process

    Uploaded by

    vijay kumar honnali
    An isochoric process, also called a constant-volume process, is a thermodynamic process where the volume of a closed system undergoing the process remains constant. During an isochoric process, no pressure-volume work is done since the volume does not change. The internal energy of the system changes due only to the addition or removal of heat, with the change in internal energy being directly proportional to the change in temperature. On a pressure-volume diagram, an isochoric process appears as a straight vertical line.

    In thermodynamics, an isochoric process, also called a constant-volume process,

    an isovolumetric process, or an isometric process, is a thermodynamic process during which


    the volume of the closed system undergoing such a process remains constant. An isochoric process
    is exemplified by the heating or the cooling of the contents of a sealed, inelastic container: The
    thermodynamic process is the addition or removal of heat; the isolation of the contents of the
    container establishes the closed system; and the inability of the container to deform imposes the
    constant-volume condition.

    Formalism[edit]
    An isochoric thermodynamic quasi-static process is characterized by constant volume, i.e., ΔV = 0.
    The process does no pressure-volume work, since such work is defined by

    where P is pressure. The sign convention is such that positive work is performed by the system on
    the environment.
    If the process is not quasi-static, the work can perhaps be done in a volume constant
    thermodynamic process.[1]
    For a reversible process, the first law of thermodynamics gives the change in the system's internal
    energy:

    Replacing work with a change in volume gives

    Since the process is isochoric, dV = 0, the previous equation now gives

    Using the definition of specific heat capacity at constant volume, cv = (dQ/dT)/m, where m is the
    mass of the gas, we get

    Integrating both sides yields

    where cv is the specific heat capacity at constant volume, T1 is the initial temperature and T2 is the
    final temperature. We conclude with:
    Isochoric process in the pressure volume diagram. In this
    diagram, pressure increases, but volume remains constant.
    On a pressure volume diagram, an isochoric process appears as a straight vertical line. Its
    thermodynamic conjugate, an isobaric process would appear as a straight horizontal line.

    Ideal gas[edit]
    If an ideal gas is used in an isochoric process, and the quantity of gas stays constant, then the
    increase in energy is proportional to an increase in temperature and pressure. For example a gas
    heated in a rigid container: the pressure and temperature of the gas will increase, but the volume will
    remain the same.
