A system may follow various paths while going from one state to another.
Depending on the path followed, the process may be isochoric, isobaric, isothermal, or adiabatic.
You are supposed to analyze the evacuation of an uninsulated, high-pressure rigid tank filled with a gas at ambient temperature by:
(a) Drilling a very small hole on the surface of the
tank.
(b) Turning on a very large valve placed on the top of
the tank.
explain which process the gas remaining in the tank undergoes in these two cases above.
