Isochoric Process

Thermodynamics of Class 11

ISOCHORIC PROCESS

A process is said to be isochoric if the volume of the system remains constant during each step of the process.

Reversible and Irreversible process

A process which is carried out infinitesimally slowly in such a manner that the system remains almost in a state of equilibrium at every stage or a process carried out infinitesimally slowly so that the driving force is only infinitesimally greater than the opposing force is called a reversible process.

Isochoric Process

Any process which does not take place in the above manner i.e. a process which does not take place infinitesimally slowly, is said to be an irreversible process.

In fact, all the natural processes are irreversible processes.
