Which of the following is/are reversible process(es)? 1. Isentropic expansion 2. Slow heating of water from a hot source 3. Constant pressure heating of an ideal gas from a constant temperature source 4. Evaporation of a liquid at constant temperature. Select the correct answer using the code given below: (a) 1 only (b) 1 and 2 (c) 2 and 3 (d) 1 and 4
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which of the listed processes are reversible. It provides specific processes to assess and requires selection of the correct one based on their characteristics.
Answer
(d) 1 and 4
The final answer is (d) 1 and 4
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is (d) 1 and 4
More Information
Isentropic expansion is a reversible adiabatic process. Evaporation of a liquid at constant temperature can be considered reversible because it's in equilibrium with its vapor.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming all processes that seem slow or constant are reversible, but not all meet the thermodynamic definition of reversibility.
