Adiabatic expansion produces cooling, why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Adiabatic Process**: - An adiabatic process is defined as a thermodynamic process in which there is no heat exchange between the system and its surroundings. This means that the heat transfer (Q) is equal to zero. 2. **First Law of Thermodynamics**: - According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy (ΔU) of a system is equal to the heat added to the system (Q) plus the work done on the system (W): \[ ...
