Question

An ablator is vaporized in the dynamic “ramp” form of this process, which provides gentler conditions for equation of state measurements. An interferometer called VISAR is used to measure velocity when performing this (-5[1])process on a solid using laser-induced shockwaves, which was used to create superionic ice (-5[1])in 2018. A thermodynamic quantity named for this process is the inverse of the bulk (15[1])modulus. (-5[1])For a real gas, (15[3])this process names a (15[1])(*) “factor” (10[1])denoted (10[1]-5[1])Z (10[3])that is equal (10[4])to (10[1])pV (10[3])over (10[1])nRT. (10[2]-5[1])This process causes ignition in a diesel engine. (10[3]-5[4])The surroundings (10[2]-5[1])perform work on the system (10[1])in the two (10[1])steps of the Carnot cycle corresponding to this process, (-5[2])which follow two expansion steps. For 10 points, name this process in which the volume of a system decreases, (10[3])often (10[1])via a piston. (10[3])■END■ (10[9])

ANSWER: compression [accept compressibility factor or isothermal compressibility; accept ramp compression or shock compression or compression engine; prompt on descriptions of reducing volume until “volume” is read; prompt on contraction; prompt on answers indicating reducing volume or changing volume; prompt on pressurizing or shocking; prompt on doing work on a system until read]
