What is Isobaric Curve – Isobar – pV Diagram – Definition

by
Isobaric Curve – Isobar – pV Diagram. On a p-V diagram, the process occurs along a horizontal line (called an isobar) that has the equation p = constant

Isobaric Process

An isobaric process is a thermodynamic process, in which the pressure of the system remains constant (p = const). The heat transfer into or out of the system does work, but also changes the internal energy of the system.

On a p-V diagram, the process occurs along a horizontal line (called an isobar) that has the equation p = constant.

For a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. Source: grc.nasa.gov NASA copyright policy states that “NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted”.
