Explaon the following processes
Non cyclic process with example

Explanation

Non - cyclic Process : A non - cyclic process consists of a series of changes involved do not return the system back to its initial state .
Example : Suppose a gas with variables `P_(1),V_(1),T_(1)` is taken through a series of different sates subjecting to a number of changes including isothermal expansions and compressions . In the final state , if then the gas is said to be undergo a non-cyclic process .
Work done in a non cyclic process depends upon the path chosen or the series of changes involved .
