Is Work Positive In Adiabatic Expansion?

by

Is Work Positive In Adiabatic Expansion? An expansion is considered work done by the system. W is negative if work is done by the system (work out, energy out) and positive if done on the system (work in, energy in). It doesn’t matter as long as you are consistent. Is work done positive for expansion?

What Does Adiabatic Heating Do?

What Does Adiabatic Heating Do? With adiabatic heating, as a mass of air What happens to temperature in adiabatic process? What happens to the temperature of an ideal gas in an adiabatic expansion? An adiabatic expansion has less work done and no heat flow, thereby a lower internal energy comparing to an isothermal expansion which
