During an Isochoric Process?

An isochoric process, also called a constant-volume process, an isovolumetric process, or an isometric process, is a thermodynamic process during which the volume of the closed system undergoing such a process remains constant. ... The isochoric process here should be a quasi-static process.

What happens during an isochoric process?

An isochoric process is one in which the volume is held constant, meaning that the work done by the system will be zero. It follows that, for the simple system of two dimensions, any heat energy transferred to the system externally will be absorbed as internal energy.

Why is no work done in an isochoric process?

In physics, when the pressure in a system changes but the volume is constant, you have what is called an isochoric process. ... Because volume is constant in an isochoric process, no work is done.
