An ideal gas undergoing a polytropic process approaches a process under this constraint as the polytropic index goes to infinity. The heating and cooling in the Stirling cycle is performed under this condition. For a constant number of particles and under this constraint, the reciprocal of the partial derivative of the entropy with respect to energy defines the absolute temperature. The (*) Helmholtz free energy is defined as the amount of usable work under this constraint. No work is performed under this constraint, so the specific heat under this condition is always smaller than the specific heat at constant pressure. For 10 points, isochoric processes occur under what thermodynamic constraint, in which the size of the container does not change? ■END■
ANSWER: constant volume [accept isovolumetric process; accept isochoric process before “isochoric”; accept clear knowledge equivalents like “the volume doesn’t change”]
